mskin Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 is there a way to measure the amount of light in my scene at a certain location? ie. can i measure how many footcandles on a table surface? 3d max, photometric lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 It's been a long time since I have done it but I think you can with Max if you use radiosity and photometric lights. I can't guarantee how accurate it will be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Clementson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 MAX2009 Design has tools to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 You could also use a free light calculation program like this one. Might mean exporting or possibly remodelling a simplified version of the space. Think it has an autocad plugin though. Should be much more accurate and comes with libraries of lighting products to choose from. http://www.relux.biz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
