      Hi,
      i never asked it, but what values is using Podium ?
      are these lumen, candela or lux? (btw, which are three different things, however just for information)

        Nobody around who has an answer to my question?

        i think my question isn't trivial, if we want to get some nice interior illumination studies.
        just today i ran my first warm-ups with a nice unbiased Kerkythea and IES light resources for interiors. Amazing, what this software is capable of!

            Hi Pilou,
            thanks for your advice. Your answer is correct.
            In the past, I was excited to become a member of various forums. πŸ˜’
            Mostly, render engines do a nice job, but are optimized for a presentational task (often exteriors) which are relatively easy to get, in comparison for realistic interior simulations.

            There is specialized software -lighting analysis softw.- like Spotify -if i remember right- for Vectorworks and LTB, but i dont't own, nor i want to buy such a software. Kerkythea seems to do a good job for me. I haven't explored all their features till now, but i found only watt or lumen values for self-emitting materials. Seems lighting values are largely fancy values for render engines. Or i'm wrong ❓

              In any case as you can easily incease / decrease them it's not a great importance to know the particar unities πŸ˜‰

              And why not write directly to Podium πŸ˜‰

                on the go to write a mail…
                I'm curious about the answer. I'll post their mail to leave a feedback for others who have the same question like me. Just to clarify things from ground up. Fortunately, Kerkythea uses IES too.
