Use the Photometric Data Import node to import photometric data files that can be used to initialize the ray intensity and power as a function of the initial ray direction. The
Photometric Data Import node supports the
*.ies file extension, the standard photometric data file format of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA).
Enter a File name, or click the
Browse button to locate a photometric data file. When a valid file path has been entered, click the
Import button to load the photometric data into the model.
If photometric data has already been loaded by the Photometric Data Import feature, instead click the
Discard button to discard this data and clear the
File name field.
The format of the imported photometric data file must be consistent with ANSI/IESNA LM-63-02 (R2008), IESNA Standard file format for the electronic transfer of photometric data and related information, Illuminating Engineering Society (2002).
