Sparkles/Brightness setting ?
« on: May 21, 2014, 12:42:26 PM »

Can you explain the slider relationship to values for Sparkles and Brightness.

If one desires 0 Sparkles, the value is set to 200
If one desires 0 Brightness, the value is set to 0.

I do see a fairly linear brightness change on the lights that corresponds from 0-100. What is the purpose of the brightness setting above 100?

Thanks,
Steve

i agree the numbers dont make sense to you. i will probably rewrite teh code so hat sparkles are just 0-100 for 0-100% of lights will sparkle.

Can there be more options for the sparkle?   Perhaps selecting a color for sparkles or having a rainbow option for sparkles? Just a thought. --Greg--

I like both ideas. A 0-100 scale and different colors for sparkles.  I'm also playing around with some rgb white nodes. If there is a strobe option for sparkles in the future that would be nice
