What’s New!
SO WHAT’S NEW???? As always, LUMIPro strives to exceed itself with every release, and LUMIPro 2017 is no exception. Here’s all things great and small that’s new or improved:
Scenes! If you’re not new to LUMIPro, you know the
older versions presets as well, and that remains the same
- only now they’re called Scenes. Nine handy slots in a
menu store your custom scenes for easy recall at a later
time. You can store your pose, your eye position, and
your camera position so you won’t have to tear your hair
out when you accidentally bump your mouse, knock-
ing your carefully-craed scene into oblivion. No more
searching around for the menu. Click the Scene button,
and you’re ready to go: select Lights, Camera, and Pose
(or any combination of those; you can store just the
lights if that’s all you want), click a slot number, and
click Save. at’s it! Not only that, but Restore works the
same way: you can, for example, switch among several
saved poses and keep everything else the same by select-
ing only the Pose button, and then clicking Restore. e
lights and camera will not budge. en if you’ve decided
on a pose you like, and want to switch up the lights...just
enable Lights and disable Pose...now every slot is about
only the lights.
e nine scenes can be saved to the server, then restored
for a future shoot with a new model. is makes it very
easy for product and blog photographers to have a
reliable go-to system they can recall at any time for their
next product or post.
Updated HUD Interface! e main LCD window has
changed slightly, getting rid of some duplication, and
bringing “hidden” features to the forefront. e REZ
and DEREZ buttons have been removed from the LCD,
but they are still available on the Toolbox (see the pic on
the le of this page).
Presets has been renamed, and is now called “Scene,”
and is right where it used to be under its old name.
Pose Filter has been a feature of LUMIPro for a couple
years, but it’s always been buried away. If you ever typed
“/43 stands,” or something similar aer /43, you were
using the Pose Filter. Now, it’s front and center in the
LCD window: click Pose Filter, type any word that will
help you nd specic poses, and suddenly even a HUD
with 300+ poses in it becomes easily manageable.
NEW!
Look for this symbol on any page that
includes changed features or functions
HUD Control of Lights! You knew it was coming; that
one thing that would really make LUMIPro outstanding,
an unparalleled tool for every photographer in Second
Life. Now you can swing your lights around your model
without having to exit the scene you carefully set up,
cam into the model, un-hide and click on giant light
balls until you nally sort of get it kind of where you
maybe think it would work. How do we do this magic?
With the latest addition to the Toolbox: Light Control!
It’s really very intuitive, and works just like the other
Toolbox controls; clicking the arrows around the pe-
rimeter move the lights in the direction clicked, in an
arc around the selected model (or move them closer
or farther away with the Forward/Back arrows). Used
in conjunction with the Colors popout panel, you can
move individual worn lights, or all three lights at once.
is new feature is a huge time saver, and we know
you’re going to totally love it!
