Lighting channel settings and animations...

First off, can I say the modifications to the lighting channels are great! I can create *exactly* the look I want for still images. But it is a different story for animations...

The issue is that the "Average Illumination" and "lock" features that are present in the Rendering dialog (the dialog that shows from the light bulb icon while it renders), are not in the Lighting tab of the Setup form. In other words, the light channel intensities are brought back into the Sketchup model, but the Average Illumination and "Lock" values are not. So when I then go to create the animation PNGs, I have no way to control the Average Illumination/Lock. Consequently, the rendered images for the animation are over-lite (light saturation).

FWIW, I do my animations as PNG files and then let Corel VideoStudio put them all together. I haven't tried it, but possibly I could have the animation engine create nxtImage files rather then PNG files? Perhaps that would work in theory, but I can't see hand modifying over 900 frames.

So I am wondering if this is a feature that will be coming soon? Or if there are technical limitations prohibiting the Average Illumination/Lock settings to be controlled when doing animations?

Suggestions anyone?
