🆕 New in v1.2


🔍 Scene Analysis 2.0 (Improved)


The scene scanner has been fully upgraded. It now performs a much deeper analysis of your lighting environment:


  • Counts all InvisibleLights
  • Detects Spot / Point / Directional
  • Reads intensity, range, angle, shadows
  • Calculates total light energy
  • Calculates average scene brightness
  • Detects extreme values (too bright / too dark)
  • Provides smart recommendations for better results

The new analysis is more accurate and easier to read directly in the UI.




🔄 Auto-Distance System


LightAssistant now calculates ideal light distance automatically based on:


  • Room size
  • Spacing between atoms
  • Nearest Person (auto-detection)

🧹 Light Cleanup Tool


The cleanup system has been improved:
