this version was a little bit buggy and until now, asgvis is trying their best to come up with a better and stable one. I have done this tutorial when 1.48.66 was released. I have learnt so much from your tutorials but this one could do with a bit more!įirst of all my apology for not coming back here often…

Is there a simple way to identify IES files for a particular application (interior / exterior / narrow beam / wide beam etc)? Also, you have used an IES file in the tutorial but not told us which one.įinally, you say to scale the light but, again, not provided info on how to do so in detail. I have no idea what ones to use (what is ARCHITECTURAL ARM-MOUNTED CUTOFF LUMINAIRE WITH SR3 REFLECTOR, BLACK INTERNAL HOUSE SIDE for example?).

Also there are links to a number of very resource full sites containing IES files. Could you clarify what useable range might be and how one determines what setting to use. I have no idea if this high, low or somewhere in between. Personally, I would like more info on what the power setting range is. With respect, this tutorial only shows how to ‘build’ the example shown. I hate to be critical of anyone who makes the time and effort to educate those of us who are less knowledgeable on a product, but this tutorial could be a lot more helpful. A simple box with 3 pin lights as shown in the image below. Collection here at SketchUp Texture Blog.Another collection of IES files can be found in the links below: Included is a complete database of IES files for current GE products. Its a powerful lighting design aid for GE directional reflector lamps.

More IES files here if those don’t work for your particular version of V-Ray.You can also download the GE Light*Beams 3.0 software at the bottom of this page.
You can download IES files files of your own choice from here GE Lighting and more here IES Maps and a SketchUp light fitting here. In this simple tutorial we are going to set up three basic pin lights using imported IES files. I have a new second tutorial, just published called Basic IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUp. I use V-Ray release version 1.48.90 in it, which is a much better and stable release. Lamp manufacturers create these files for accurately simulating their lights and now we have the ability to add IES profiles (for light accuracy). IES (Illumination Engineering Society) is a standard digital file in ASCII format, which measures the distribution of light, in other words the intensity of the light and its shape. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflow. 1.48.66) has the new added feature of IES Lights and Spotlights.
