getNodeByName2

A function to get an object given its name as a string. This is similar to 'getNodeByName' in avg_dlx.dlx - but doesn't require an Extension; checks for duplicates; and can be modified to do even more (see script header).

Just a quick 1 button solution for getting some commonly used materials (well - material I use commonly) without the need for a default material library - like an all black material - all white - face mapped smoke - etc.

SmokeThis

Makes a superspray - or pcloud with a material that simulates smoke. This is a quick way to create some smoke for your scene - go into the material afterwards to tweak its color - density - etc manually.

HDRdomeLight

15 votes

A normal dome light - as in the stuff we use to fake GI - but it doesn't create the lights until you hit render - then cleans up afterwards - so it's a bit neater. Besides that - I've added in some pretend HDRI stuff - as in the stuff outlined by Paul Debevek and seen in the short Fiat Lux at Siggraph.
