The reason is, you donthave to spend a huge amount of time in balancing the sun and the physical camera. This is advisable especially for beginners. Step 3In my opinion, using V-Ray sun and V-Ray physical camera is not necessary when rendering an enclosed space. Even with this, V-Ray SketchUp will read the photometric data. Thenunder sampling(File) I clicked the box and browsed the IES photometric data (6B3_(100A19).ies.By default the power is set to 0. Step 23.Then I clicked the IES light icon. This is the same whenediting your V-Ray light, you will only edit one light inside this component, and the otherlightings will be edited automatically.In the following image, I created V-Ray IES lighting, scaled it a bit and placed itbelow the receptacle. This is a good tip, so that when you place the V-Raylighting automatically you will have an instance of this lighting. Then, I copiedthis component into 4 more instances.
Step 12.I have created a simple recessed light and made it into component. Anyhow lets get started this tutorial.1.SketchUp set up.
I am using some of his excellent components here for the purpose of seeing the overall effects of the IES lighting, insteadof just using a simple room.In this tutorial, my materials have no reflections, bump etc (except for the receptacles) forquick rendering but later I will supply you hopefully with another tutorial on how to playwith materials. In this tutorial, a special thanks to my friend Trang An.
Previously I had used 1.48.66 in my first IES tutorial,IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUpbut there seemed to be a few little bugs with that particular updated version.ASGVIS(now owned by Chaos Group) made a tremendous leap, and I can really conclude thattheir newest build is much more stable and easier to use.I planned to use the same file that I used with the first tutorial, but I have decided to just model a quick one for this new tutorial.I am using here also a photometric data name 6B3_(100A19).ies that I have downloadedfor free fromLithonia, orSketchUpArtists Download Sectionand found under Tutorial Files. Basic IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUpīy Nomer AdonaI am writing another IES lighting tutorial again showing the basic steps in usingV-Ray for SketchUp 1.48.90and future releases.
