IES file how to scale it?
Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 1:30 pm
Hello to everyone!
I have imported from sketch up a simple model (in meters) of a cube(1x1x1m)
with a little sphere on top of it at a distance of 10m.
For the emitter I am using an IES file (eg. ERCO_Stella 1xHIT-CE_150W).
when I render the scene, I do not see anything, everything is dark and the
blue cones coming down the emitter are small and do not even touch
the cube or the floor surface.
Is it there a way to scale the IES file in order to reach the appropriate
ligth condition I would need?
How can I use a IES light, let say in a room with a ceiling height of 10
meters and get enough light at floor plane?
(someone told me to scale down my model leaving the IES file as it or to use
somekind of IES editor which you download from the web is but I
would like to know if there is another better way to do that)
What should I do?
Please let me know,
Thank you so much!!
