Enclosed light tester and render for reference.
Been having some fun (
) with using IES data as specified by the client.
They want an accurate simulation, with no post-processing.
- I have 41 photometric lights and the IES data is quite slow as far as IES's can go!. I have still managed to achieve sub 3hr render times @3000x2000 by using IRmap for the primaries and lightcache for the secondaries. I also found that there was no apparent effect on speed when adjusting the subdivs of the lights. I also found that glossy reflections have a major effect on render speed when used with photometric lights, and paid careful attention to subdivs here as a result.
Also the kind of AA used had a massive effect on rendertimes with ADAPTIve being much quicker then fixed rate in this case.
The global QMC multiplier was always kept on 1.
Hopefully this will prove useful for someone as I know that Photometrics can be a headache!
C+C's always welcome.

Images look nice, but miss a little texture here and there.... I guess!
