chow choppe Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 hi everyone can anyone tell me how i can control the fall of of target photometric light so that its doesnt fall on the ground but fades away midway like in standard max lights we can use attenuation for a spotlight? is it possible in max also i am using an ies file for this photometric metal halide see attached image to see where i dont want the light to fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy L Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Why would you want to add a controller to a photometric light? Kind of defeats the object doesnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkletzien Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 In this case like most others, I agree with Tommy, but you can exclude it from hitting the floor if you're intent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amer abidi Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 ..well photometric lights have attenuation settings too.. but i agree, defeats the point of having IES data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
