Vanda Engine 1.7.5

What's new in Vanda Engine 1.7.5:

• you can assign ambient, diffuse, specular, emission, shininess and transparency to individual prefab instances to override their prefab materials.
• With new APIs, you can modify the following properties of lights and prefab instances:
  *Lights: Ambient, diffuse, specular, shininess
  *Prefab Instances: Ambient, diffuse, specular, emission, shininess, transparency

Here are the new APIs:

Lights:

• SetLightAmbient(string lightObjectName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetLightDiffuse(string lightObjectName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetLightSpecular(string lightObjectName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetLightShininess(string lightObjectName, float shininess)

Prefab Instances:

• SetPrefabInstanceAmbient(string prefabInstanceName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetPrefabInstanceDiffuse(string prefabInstanceName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetPrefabInstanceSpecular(string prefabInstanceName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetPrefabInstanceEmission(string prefabInstanceName, float red, float green, float blue)
• SetPrefabInstanceShininess(string prefabInstanceName, float shininess)
• SetPrefabInstanceTransparency(string prefabInstanceName, float transparency)
• EnablePrefabInstanceMaterial(string prefabInstanceName)
• DisablePrefabInstanceMaterial(string prefabInstanceName)

To access the APIs, please run Vanda Engine and go to Tools | Script Editor menu

I haven't uploaded the requirement folder on GitHub if you intend to compile the source code. To download the requirements folder please visit Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vandaengine/
