  • Max Brightness is now 100. We included soft values too.

  • Added icons instead of ugly checkboxes.
  • Reorder lights in layer list.
  • Several bug fixes.

I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
