The emission scaling functionality now is basically a superset of the old efficacy scale functionality.
The old way of setting the power drawn (Watts), and overall luminous efficacy (lm/W) was basically a convoluted way of specifying the luminous flux (lm) of the light, which is just the product of the power drawn, and the overall luminous efficacy.
With the new emission scale system, you can just set the luminous flux directly. In addition, you can also scale the emission of the light according to other measures, such as luminance, luminous intensity, and luminous emittance.
To create a 100 W incandescent bulb, using a figure of 13.8 lm/W from wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy ), and 100 W, the luminous flux of the bulb is 100 W * 13.8 lm/W = 1380 lm.

Hello, I'm new with Cindigo and the x64 version of Cinema R10.5 doesn't recognize the exporter, The x86 version doesn't have a problem but I have to work with x64 at home, can you help me to make x64 recognize the plugin? please.

Hey Raf...
Simply use the 32bit version for exporting to Indigo
Or are your c4d files realy soooooo heavy that they crash the 32bit version?

Hi, thanks, I was working yesterday with the 32 version and had no problem with Cindigo, so now I have to learn how to use both Cinema and Cindigo, that leads to the next cuestion: Where can I find tutos for Cinema and Cindigo?, I worked before with 3ds max but find that Cinema is very friendly so I want to change to it.

I don´t know if i am right or it is my fault, but i get an error every time i convert a cinema4d material with an active "Leucht Kanal" (don´t know what it is callesd in english, maybe illumination or luminance channel). I can convert the material but when i start Indigo, then an error appears. Also Cindigo doesn´t seem to use textures for the light layers, means i have manually write into the igs:
<emission>
<texture> ...
And i would thank you for an explanation for the camera tonemappig (when i use the "dscs315.txt" as camera typ, my renders are always black).
(Hope my english isn´t so bad and understandable
)

For camera tonemapping you need to setup correct ISO values and so on... Go inform yourself what a real cam would use and go for those values

hmm but i have to give Cindigo a file, so i tried the one from the preview scene, and no matter what i change in the "Film ISO" in indigo, the picture is allways black..., so i just wonder where can i get other camera files?

There are no other atm...
The file can also be found in indigo's data dir...
Just try to mess around with ISO and EV values.

Okay i will try and post my results tomorrow in another thread

Onfame:
try to use a longer exposure.
actually, cindigo uses textures set in the luminance channel, but only if emission is activated in the mat helper - at least it should.
