So i have had the idea to make this thing for a long time now, just getting around to it now though.
I am a nerd for colour and lighting theory, and i love that most lighting theory can be baked down into a simple equation, so i thought making a simple tool that would let you see this stuff happen in real time, without needing to resort to a 3d program would be great.
So ideally the way you would use this is to set up your light, ambient and a bunch of local colours for objects in your scene, and then copy and paste the swatches into your file so that you have a solid basis for drawing all the colours.
Currently it only has the bare essential features, but if you want to give this thing a try, send me a pm. I can also do a mac build if people are interested enough.
The current feature list im hoping to get implemented are
-preview window
-exposure control
-HSV sliders
-colour picker
-multiple ambients
-SSS component (for skin tones)
-Saving and loading
-metalic specular(this probably won't be very useful...)
Anything else that would be helpful?
I'll probably end up selling it on gumroad for a few bucks.
Send me a PM if you want to test a build.
