IES LIGHTS, all paths are giving me the same light.

Post by alffrad » Fri Sep 02, 2011 3:20 pm

Hello, I have been experimenting with IES Lights and no matter what kind of external IES path I use i get the same result. There is no change in the light.

Also If I render Reinhard the lights are OK but if I render in Camera mode the render is all white, so I have to lower the iso to 1 to get a decent image, and no matters if I lower the emission scale at the material editor the light amount is the same.

Here is exactly what I do, I create a room with floor, roof and 3 walls, I chose a color black (008) in sketchup and change the name to light, then In material editor select diffuse, change the light layer, and just click in the IES path and select a path. ( I have several ) some work and some don't, but the ones who work are giving me the same light.

Also I have a lot of Issues like network rendering (not working), environment maps (not working), also If I select sketchup background color black (not working, the sun stills there)

I don't know if I have this problems because I´m using skindigo 3.0.15 or Is the same in 3.0.14.
Am I doing something wrong?

have a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.1
Sketchup 8
Skindigo 3.0.15
Indigo 3.0.14

Thanks

No problems here, although there's still an issue with base surfaces not glowing sometimes :?

I tested your file, and I still have the same problem...

Are you using mac? Maybe is because I have Lion installed..

I work on an Core i7 iMac still under OSX 10.6.8, however, with Blender.

1. No problem with environment maps here, however, you need to use EXR environment maps as Indigo does not accept HDR (IIRC). You can convert these using picturenaut ( which only runs under Windows :roll: ).

2. Indigo only accepts certain types of IES lights and there a several that it does not. I cannot have vertical angles lager than 90 deg (or so). You can find functioning IES files for low voltage halogen lights on the Solux web site.
