View lighting settings

What are the best settings for the lighting in the views?

Ambient lighting ?

Fixture lighting ?

Fixture lighting differentation ?

Atmosphere ?

I presumed that setting the Fixture lighting and Fixture lighting differentation to 100% would give the most accurate results of simulation?

Whats the actual function definition of the Fixture lighting and differentation fields?

Currently running 15%, 100%, 50% and 40% in order if that helps....

Thanks,

Paul

Re: View lighting settings

Hi Paul!

The best settings are depending on kind of objects, distance of the fixtures and how many you use, even color of filters and forms of gobos. So you have to adjust until you are happy. Note that you can use more than 100% to get the right balance on your simulation!

Hi Lasse and Paul,

Please explain why 1600% is the maximum and not 100%. What´s the use of this?

Hi,

Well, why not? ;-)

On some fields there is virtually no upper limit. I guess with millions of percents of ambient lighting things will become so hot that everything melts, and with millions of percents of smoke the air will actually be oil..

Re: View lighting settings

Ok, let me ask this question another way!

I am sat at home at the moment and I want to pre-program some of my show.

I put a Generic Par64 and Par 16 at the same height from the floor pointing straight down.

The Par64 has a field lumen of 11000, the Par16 has a field lumen of 672.62.

At what percentages do I have to have the Fixture Lighting and Fixture Lighting differentation for this photo metric data to be correct in the simulation?

Thanks,

Paul
