The resulting decompressed folder will have: Adobe Reader is required to access the Index FileV-Ray for SketchUp (ver. 1.48.66) has the new added feature of IES Lights and Spotlights. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflow. 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.

Lamp manufacturers create these files for accurately simulating their lights and now we have the ability to add IES profiles (for light accuracy). I have a new second tutorial, just published called Basic IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUp. acapulco eforie nord tarifeI use V-Ray release version 1.48.90 in it, which is a much better and  stable release.visual comfort michele chandelier In this simple tutorial we are going to set up three basic pin lights using imported IES files. chandelier ristorante milano tripadvisorYou can download IES files files of your own choice from here GE Lighting and more here IES Maps and a SketchUp light fitting here. 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.

Its a powerful lighting design aid for GE directional reflector lamps. Included is a complete database of IES files for current GE products. Another collection of IES files can be found in the links below: Here is the room set up. A simple box with 3 pin lights as shown in the image below. Follow the steps highlighted in the following images below. And here is the render where I used 3 different types of IES light data. You will see the rendering time using default setting with no sky and no physical camera, the rendering time is just 14.7 seconds. You can also see the difference in the spread and intensity of the three lights. Some sample render scenes using what we have learned in this tutorial. I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial and find it useful in your future projects. Check out my second tutorial on IES lights (Basic IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUp) which uses a less ‘buggy’ release version of V-Ray for SketchUp. Also here is another short tutorial on using IES lights in a 3ds Max work flow, may be useful in helping you understand the concept and use.

As usual, the model is available in max version 9 format, and also in 3ds. The “.max” version contains the material settings for vray. Download 3D chandelier modelA basic downloadable file (including model and lighting) and tutorial exploring the various ways you can light a scene through IES Lighting within Vray and 3Ds Max. Just follow the steps below. When wondering around 3D sites as Evermotion, Ronenbekerman, CgArchitect and others, I noticed that the majority of render images tend to use IES lighting. IES lighting just seems to add much more life than the simple lights available in Vray. The present tutorial will show you how to set up a IES in Vray and Render it, adding those stunning light effects to your images. I will set up a simple tutorial, that won’t go into too much depth but will allow you to set up a quick IES light within your model.

The model I have supplied is a simple on that I have modeled in Sketchup and brought into 3D max, it is of a project we are working on for a hairdresser. It is a simple clay model that has been attributed a Vertex Edges Material (which I will get into later). You will need to download two things: IES Lights – available here IES Light Viewer – available here IES Generator – available here (not necessary to install) IES stands for Illuminating Engineering Society. IES standard file format was created for the electronic transfer of photometric data over the web. It has been widely used by many lighting manufacturers and is one of the industry standards in photometric data distribution. An IES file is basically the measurement of distribution of light (intensity) stored in ASCII format. You can think of it as a digital profile of a real world light. In 3d software like 3ds max it can be used for creating lights with shapes and physically accurate form. I tend to model simple things in SketchUp, just because of its ease of use and also speed, it handles the job for the majority of things that I do.

You should verify that before exporting all your model has its faces facing front (white colour instead of blue) This will guarantee that there won’t be any problems in the rendering phase once we get onto 3D Max I have ignored the chandelier back faces, as these are just simple front and back face Export with the settings in image. , it has an extensive library of IES files with different categories. After you have downloaded the lights, you can use IES viewer to browse through them and choose one from the preview. Load up the file and insert a Photometric – Free Light (can use target light is you need to target it) I have highlighted in red the changes I made: Firstly turn on VrayShadows – Choose Photometric Web from Light Distribuition pull down menu and then change your intensity according to what you desire. Note that you can change the area shadows, so that you may have a softer shadow around the projected shadow edges. This will get you started on your way to using IES Lights
