Hi Matt, Yep, materials could have their colors clamped instead (setting value ranges is enough, without having range functions). However this is the sort of thing that is often overlooked when adding properties - color properties like sequencer, bone, object, theme, lamp shadow, render stamp, fcurve, brush, world.... etc. So I think its better to have negative colors opt-in. This way nodes which are known to work with negative colors can have negative values explicitly set. If you think most compo/shader nodes work with negative colors I can add in calls to all of them to allow negative color's so at least they work the same as before. Later if its found some compo nodes dont work right negative color func can be removed ofcourse. Would this be ok? _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
