Suggestions towards dynamic lighting.

I love the idea behind dynamic lighting and upgraded to a subscription to have fun with it. I have a few suggestions which i feel will make dynamic make easier and look much nicer: 1. Please Please Please add an option to erase drawings.  On one of my maps the central room is a giant circle with three door ways. With my current understanding I am unable to circle the large room then remove areas for the three doorways. Instead I've had to slowly draw around the map by hand, this is painfully tedious, and i gave up in the end. 2. At the moment lighting gradually fades the further it is away, I love this feature and I feel it could be used to a much greater effect. As you can see the lighting is extremely sharp around corners and the edges of walls. I feel that a smooth edge at the edge of the darkness will reduce this and make it much better looking because it reality light doesn't come from a single source but rather bounces across the room filling the room. So yeah, those are my only two issues with dynamic lighting.

Joel, to get your DL lines into a circle set your Roll20 zoom level to 150% and then the browser zoom level to 200-300% (up to you, the higher the better).  Start your line away from the circle. As you approach the circle make relatively small lines (do not hold down Alt while doing this) and you can approximate a curve. When you hit the next straight section start it and then right click. That will complete the line.  If you would like I can come into your game and show you. Send me a PM with the join link. - Gauss
