V-Ray IES is a spot light with photometric curve:
BASIC CONCEPTS:
- Load .ies file into “NONE” to assign a photometric curve
- You can download tons of .ies files for free on lamp website producers
- “Nice.ies” is the most famous ies file because it works really good
- Power is in candels, so don’t worry about so high vaules!
EXERCISE:
Download ES07-VRAY_IES.ZIP | OBJ Version and do the same you watched in the video.
Note:
V-Ray Ies just simulate the light. Use VRayLightMtl to simulate the source light.
(Use “compensate exposure” for fast setting!)
I can’t download.
It shows-404-file can’t found
Done!
Try again 😉
with compensate exposure it fine automaticly le necessary value ?
Yes, generally yes. Of course the last decision it’s up to you 😉
thank you 🙂
Hi, Ciro.
I noticed that on a render IES light does not produce area shadows.
Is there a way to fix that?
Hi Denis, IES procuces direct shadows (not area ones). Why do you expect area shadows from an IES light?
Dear ciro,
I was working on it.Everithing ok except last step.I applied vraymaterial
I cant see option COMPENSATE CAMERA EXPOSURE.I am using max11.There is another options in max11
Hi Venugopal,
it depends on the vray version (not 3ds max)… anyway just increase its MULTIPLIER, it’s totally the same.
Dear ciro, I have vray 1.50.sp5.Now i got it by increasing multiplier
Everything going nice
Hi Ciro,
i downloaded the scene, but anytime i render, i see the same in all viewports, thats a render from Top view, though i tried from VRay Camera, Front, Left,…
Perhaps i modified something unconsciously.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Naiara, maybe unconsciously you blocked the camera in the render panel. Check for this > http://screencast.com/t/aFXB5UvJgx – If this is your case, just unblock. Let me know… 🙂
Yess!! that was, its solved now 😉
I created my own scene on Friday to avoid that and move forward, however today, ive reopened that first file to see and learn, and you were right! it was locked on Top view.
Thank you very much.
