VRayLight Half-Length/Half-Width

[Art48]

WHy is it there? Do I miss something or is this just very user-unfriendly?
I mean I can imagine changing it now may go along with having to program some fallback for older scenes so that they dont get destroyed with double light sizes.
But isn't it possible to have "normal" length/width settings anytime soon? Or do I miss the point?

Well, the original reason is that for the sphere light you have "radius" and not "diameter". It could be changed, certainly, but as you pointed out there will certain coding needed to make sure that old scenes render correctly.

Is this somewhere on your to-do list? It couldn't be that big of a hassle, right? And since you recently tidied up the interface of the VRayLight, it would be nice to also have this in. We're working with real units and all that and we regularly get confused since it is so counter-intuitive. I know it's not a big issue but still, I think it would improve user experience.

I agree - I've always found that weird tbh

It really would be more intuitive

I added an issue in our "to do" list.
