#Luminance and Wattage
Dear Greg,
I've been teaching a lot of architectural 3DS classes lately and I get this
question all the time:
Is it possible to somehow connect omni or spotlight luminance with wattage?
I've been saying no, citing all the other factors that come into play in real
life: radiosity, shadows etc. However there are a few other packages that have
wattage settings. I think Accurender is one.
It seems to me that wattage settings in non-ray-tracing packages wouldn't be
perfectly accurate anyway. If all we're working with is an approximation, then
is there one in 3DS?
Thanks
Michele
