sIBL_GUI

Introduction

sIBL_GUI is an open source lighting assistant making the Image Based Lighting process easier and straight forward through the use of sIbl files (.Ibl).

What is sIBL? It’s a short for Smart IBL, a standard describing all informations and files needed to provide a fast and easy Image Based Lighting Setup in the 3d package of your choice.

More detailed informations are available here: http://www.smartibl.com

Installation

Windows Platform

Installation on Windows is pretty straightforward, just launch sIBL_GUI.exe. In order to support third party images formats through FreeImage you may need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64).

Mac Os X Platform

Open sIBL_GUI.dmg and drag sIBL_GUI 4.app into the Application directory.

Linux Platform

sIBL_GUI 4 is currently not built on Linux because of several issues.

The following dependencies are needed:

Python 2.6.7 or Python 2.7.3: http://www.python.org/
PyQt: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/

To install sIBL_GUI from the Python Package Index you can issue this command in a shell:

pip install sIBL_GUI

or this alternative command:

easy install sIBL_GUI

Templates are not included by default and can be downloaded from sIBL_GUI_Templates repository.

If you want to support third party images formats through FreeImage, you will need to recompile FreeImage with the following patch over it:

FreeImage_For_sIBL_GUI: https://github.com/KelSolaar/FreeImage_For_sIBL_GUI

You can also directly install from Github source repository:

git clone git://github.com/KelSolaar/sIBL_GUI.git
cd sIBL_GUI
python setup.py install

If you want to build the documentation you will also need:

Tidy http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

sibl_gui's Issues

Implement user defined Database file and "Read Only" mode.

User defined Database file and "Read Only" mode need to be implemented through command line arguments.

Prevent drag'n'drop in Templates Outliner Component.

The Templates Outliner Component should filter the drag'n'drop events it receives.

Check for slowness while not administrator.

Sometimes sIBL_GUI is really slow to start on Windows Vista / 7 when not launched in administrator.

Check for Gamma / Lut settings.

3ds Max Templates should check / use the 3ds Max Gamma / Lut settings.

Check for renderer settings reset.

Current renderer settings are reseted each tile a new Template execution is triggered. A check need to be done so that the current renderer is not replaced when it matches the one requested by the Template.

Properly quit threads on exit.

Worker threads are currently not properly closed on sIBL_GUI exit, making some potential sIBL_GUI crashes / exception on exit.

Check for Darwin "._" files.

Darwin "._" files should be removed from the Builds.

Check for icon presence.

Application icon is missing in the Builds.

Implement Walker inclusion / exclusion patterns.

The files Walker need to be able to use inclusion / exclusion patterns ( To handle "._*" files for example ).

Fix versions ranks calculation.

Versions comparisons are wrong and need to be fixed.

Implement option for area lights.

An option should be added to the Templates so that the lights can be built as area lights.

Ensure nodes are graphable.

Nodes in Maya Templates should be graphable in the Hypershade.

Check for look through camera issue.

There is a Template execution issue when someone triggers it's execution while looking through a camera.

Loader Script Component - Change Dynamic Lights separator.

The Dynamic Lights syntax separator need to be updated to "|" character.

Ensure real verbose with frozen executable.

Frozen sIBL_GUI is not verbosing properly, for example "print" instructions are not logged. The stdout / stderr streams need to be redirected to the Logger.

Thread Ibl Sets scanner.

Ibl Sets scanner should run in a separate thread.

Check for Templates updates issues in Templates Outliner Component.

There are issues with Templates updates in the Templates Outliner Component that need to be investigated.

Embed Jeremy Pronk "Light Map Gen".

Lee Perry Smith suggested to implement Jeremy Pronk "Light Map Gen" in order to built basic Lights rigs.

Copy individual Templates folder to Builds directory.

Templates folders need to be copied one by one to the Builds directory.

Help files are not opening when Application is hosted on a server.

Help files are not opened when sIBL_GUI is installed over the network on Windows OS.

Quote from Rob Wujster :

"I found a little 'feature' in 3.09 running from the server. It doesn't open the helpfiles of the templates due to a missing "" in the path ;-)
Copy/Pasting the path from the link and adding the "" will open the page."
