yoav Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Can anyone recommend3Ds Max plug-in to take the native Pseudo collar exposure control or the Radiosity lighting analysis to the next level . especially as far as representing luminance or Illuninanc in three dimensions in the space, such as what was available in the old light scape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have yet to find anything I really love for this, but I believe a pseudo color render is about as functional as the old Lightscape system. What are you trying to do exactly? If it's for, say, LEED daylight points and you want software that does daylight factors, there are programs specifically for green design, such as Ecotect, which has a bunch of these sorts of functions.

yoav Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hi and thank you I am trying to find a plug-ins for mostly interior lighting design using photometric lighting and analyzing the space in three dimensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 That's actually what Max Radiosity / Pseudocolor is best at - interiors with photometrics and/or IES lights. It's important that you have a good handle on all the settings involved and that your scene scale is correct, and your diffuse values are in the right ballpark. It doesn't handle caustics but usually you don't need them. What don't you like about it? Or are you trying to generate some kind of spreadsheet-style report and do some proper lighting engineer work? Are you looking for software like this: http://www.schorsch.com/ltools/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoav Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 does this work with Max, or is there something like this for Max that you know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not that I know of. And I don't really know that software either so I recommend more research... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajvbochove Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Besides Max we also use Relux. But I don't know if this is what you look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
