Getting confused revisiting my interior scene setup.
Was reading old posts about setting up lights (http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbu...ad.php?t=28260) and trying to get my head around the conversions that Gijs was helping explain to get rated lumens converted to account for VRay's 'normalize intensity' as well as imperial units. Started to understand that, then realized that option is long gone with the new "Luminous Power" units.
My questions....
Can I use the lumen rating specified on manufacturers' sites in a scene that is modeled in feet/inches?
If so, do I use International or American lighting units?
Any other questions I'm missing?
Thanks!
Notes:
Max 2009 x64
VRay v1.50 SP2
Scene is feet/inches
Using physical camera & materials (LWF/0.255 method)
