pdrake Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 is it possible to export a lighting plot with photometric information? Quote Link to comment
Guest Frank Brault Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You would need Spotlight; Umm... I'm sorry but there just isn't enough information in your question. So, could you please tell me a little more about what you are trying to do? Quote Link to comment
pdrake Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 i need to export out the photometric information of a lighting design to another piece of software in order to do a photorealistic rendering. i'd also like to be able to export the locus information. Quote Link to comment
pdrake Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 i'm working in spotlight and rendering in lightwave Quote Link to comment
Guest Frank Brault Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Photometric info could be intensity values at a particular plane. The photo Grid object might be useful. Photometric info might also be lamp types, intensities and coordinate info. Photometric info might need material reflectivity information. So, how are you representing the photometric info in Vectorworks that you want to use in LightWave? What are the ways that the information can be placed in the LightWave app? I'm sorry but I don't think that a Vectorworks light plot has this information to give. Quote Link to comment
pdrake Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 i can load an .ies file into lightwave and it will give me the actual light. it's the same as adding a symbol in vectorworks. the main purpose is to set the proper lights in the proper position with the proper properties. it looks like i'll just have to do it manually.
