PhotonLab Editor

About

PL Editor is a graphical interface for composing PhotonLab scenes. All sections of the SML file can be created and modified but the programme is mainly designed to allow positioning of objects and cameras. Parameters for all parts can be edited manually through text fields. Objects and cameras can also be selected moved and rotated by dragging the mouse in one of the four view windows. Rendering of the objects is restricted by the OpenGL lighting model to an approximation of the material properties and procedural and file textures are not currently supported.

All the basic functionallity has been implemented but there are plenty of improvements to make and some polish (mostly related to updating of the displayed parameters) to be fixed. The rotation of objects is also far from perfect because there is no way to independently rotate about the three axes.

The latest version is 0.3.0 - 11th May 2006.

Source and executables for the programme will be release sometime in the not-too-distant future.
