Hue control HDRI

Under Lighting Tab in the Gui if a Hue control was added to the sliders it would hugely multiply the possible lighting variations

Directly bluring the HDR image without the "bleaching out" effect that comes with affecting the specular. I hate to say it this way.....but it would "stylize" the HDRI like it's done with Genetica..... LOL..... I don't want it for use in that way......but to blur the directly reflected HDR image in things like chrome and glass.....if you know what I mean???

No, in randomization, you can either have one or all included. For example in high randomization, I want the ability to just include the HDRIs that work well with it while omitting the ones that don't.....

I think it would be very possible......just like setting the parameters on filter controls because there is a specific defined range for each that can be controlled.....thus giving you the ability to omit bad areas of lighting in high randomization that don't work.....especially with brightness and height.....

I suggested it as a possible better way to allow lighting control parameters to be set and include the controls in randomization.....

We can all get behind that one, eh???

fair enough
