Mega Tree Brightness

[travailen]

Is it possible to change the brightness of all of the mega tree cells, for example, in a sequence without changing any other attributes and without doing them one at a time?

Thanks,

Yes and semi-yes

To your first question yes... the Brightness slider is all the way over in the far left bottom... you can slide that up and down with changing (twinkle, speed, etc)


As to your question about not doing one at a time.... semi.....   If you don't want to do each one at a time (and assuming you are currently set at same brightness and want to change to same brightness for all)... you can:

• Copy the entire column of your mega tree
• Open a new blank sequence and paste what you copied there
• Save that "test" sequence
• Go in the XML and CTRL+F the brightness and replace for all
• Then open the "test" back up in Nutcracker and copy the column
• Open your original sequence and paste the copied cells in your mega tree

**Note** I am not saying this is the only way to do it, just the way that I would know how

if you wanted to reduce the brightness on every model in your sequence you can go into an editor (I would use notepad++ You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login)

replace
"ID_SLIDER_Brightness=100"

with
"ID_SLIDER_Brightness=60"

now the maximum brightness of 100% has been changed to 60%

be sure to do a "File,Backup" first so you have copies of all your xml files.

the brightness slider allows you to reduce the brightness on each effect, we do not have it so it works on all effects on a model., the method i showed above is the only way at this time.

btw, most effects dont look any different until you go below 50%. experiment.
