IES Light Tutorial & turning off V-ray sun

[chamferman]

Hello folks

I am following a IES Lighting Tutorials, which has asked that the v-ray sun is turned off.
Could someone tell me how this is done?

Also I would appreciate any pointers to any other IES Lighting Tutorials

thanks in advance

Hello,

an other simple way to turn off the sun light is to set your render at night (1h00 AM for exemple)...

the idea of turning of the light is meant especially for the beginner..the sun is a super strong omni light and to compensate it you need to balance the exposure with vray physical camera. THis balancing act creates a different effects with IES light even. and many users becomes even frustrated...

therefore so that you are not solving many things at the same time and you are only looking at IES light effects, its useful to turned off your sun and the camera. this time you only have to take care of your IES lighting. I have done lots of tutorial with VRAY IEs lighting and they are everywhere. One piece of advise,, units affects the ies data. vray working unit is inches. so be sure your unit is in inches...
