Stud colors and light effects

Open tmelorc opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

First of all, nice package!!

What about a shading in stud color to mix both side and front colors. Or maybe split the stud in two pieces to give better notion of light effects.

Regards.

Thanks for the idea!

While in theory this would make a lot of sense, I'm afraid this would get quite complicate with different viewports. One would need to take into account the angle to determine the shading.

(I'm normally also a bit hesitant to use shadings because not all programs can deal with them. For example if editing a pdf which has shadings in it, they often disappear if one edits the file with inkscape)

I agree with your observations. Gradients are really complicated. Maybe working with only 2 colors could be easier.
