Lighting, IES profiles, and emissive materials
- [Instructor] Lighting is a very important part of architecture. And as such, it's a very important part of architecture visualization. The programs that we're using to visualize in virtual reality, or to make still renders, are never a perfect representation of how the lighting will look in the actual built environment. However, many of them can do a very good job of expressing the feel of it. And so it's important for us to understand how to work with these lights, and get them to simulate, as best as possible, the way that the lights are actually going to work. As an example, Enscape here can actually pull the parametric light data, right from the Revit model itself, using a format called IES. Let's go back to Revit, and take a look at some of these lights. These wall washer down lights, if we go to edit type, and scroll down, we can see this photometric section. Within it, we have the angle of light casting, the file that all this information comes from, and then the parameters…
