Linear Fluorescent IES Light
-
Hi,
it's good to work with IES lights, we all know.
But what about linear ies lights? I found some files, but how can i use them?
Like e.g. for a stroke of light under the ceiling made of fluorescent T8 tubes.
If i load an ies file for linear fluorescent into vray, all i get is still a spot.
Even if i change the ies-light-component-cone into a linear box- which is not a surprise, i know..
Any ideas?

Hi,
I've also been facing this same problem. I've tried changing the ies light geometry but that didn't help in any way.
Have you found any solutions? -
Have you asked ASGVis support?

שׁAnswers in the sketchucation forum are usually quicker and more to the point, But I posted the question there too now.

I think this is a more specialised question that they would answer better. Might even be a bug - in which case they need to know about it.

No. IES lights currently are point lights like the spotlight and omni-light. I mentioned having an option for linear ies light source in the wishlist thread a little while ago. I don't know how involved it would be (or how high a priority) it is from the developer end.

That's good to know! Thanks Thom!

just the ordinary one- modelling a tube with the right dimensions and adding an emissive material.
as far as there are no linear ies lights in sight, maybe we should build a library on our own. if i find the time i will share some. warm / cold light color, different watts, sizes etc.
is it possible to save a "vray-component" to the warehouse? i mean, does it save the information of the emissive vray material? (i never did before..
)
does anybody know how to interpret the "intensity" value in the emissive-layer-dialog?
if i look at the data of e.g. philips lights there is always light color/temperature, lumens/candela and watts- if i dont miss something.
how to compare that to "intensity"?

If you use version 1.48.xx

ok, thanks.
if you know how to interpret the "intensity" thing please let me know..
