Physical equivalences of Light

[marco75]

please insert physical datas soon!!!
i need lumen watt.....
and even ies!!

for my projects with light products.-

Hey,

Octane does not have radiometric inputs for light intensity, however that is quite simple a feature to add.
I have already said we will add IES support soon, so we can probably add some radiometric controls for defining area light intensity too. (lm2 / watt / efficiency)

wow nice feature, thanks radiance!!
chow!!

Adding radiometric would complete all the camera controls available in Octane now. It's a shame that the camera controls are so robust and reflective of real world, but the lighting(albeit beautiful) doesn't have the same abundance of real world parameters like candelas,lumens,efficacy etc. I can't wait for the other half of the equation to be complete.

hi,

We are working on IES light sources and physical input parameters, here is a screenshot of what it may look like:

Awesome, roe land. The final version is going to be sweet

[Jaberwocky]

Thats starting to look cool.
Thanks roeland

Wow, awesome!

It seems as with the IES parameters you could adjust dispersion for the different lengts of wave?

thank you octane team !

Wow, awesome!

This is actually a color texture defining the emission pattern, but we will add support for IES Lights.

Man, that kicks @ss. Will we have the option of loading preset IES profiles?Will we be able to save presets? Anyway, great work. Looks very promising.
