I am doing an animation to show off the properties of a new product from a lighting company. The IES file they sent seems very low resolution, and the spot that it projects has a noise to it that resembles heavy JPEG artifacts. I've tried it with both the VRay IES light as well as the Max IES with scanline, and get the same result.
Another funny thing is that the representation of the beam points in a very different direction from the VRay light. It renders in the light's direction at rendertime, but in the viewport it renders in the direction of the beam icon. When using a Max light with scanline it renders both in the icon direction.
I would love to post the IES file, but I have been asked not to.
Does anyone have experience correcting these sorts pf issues? Should I just ask the company for a better quality IES file?
Thanks!
