Hey, guys. So, I have this project to do some theatrical lighting design. Cool. ETC, who I always use for equipment, gives their photometric data. Even better. Or not.
Ok, so when I render, basically the same, scene in Blender and Max, I get two totally different results and the render settings are not different enough for this to happen, I think. I have upped the subdivs on GI on one of the scenes and not the other, but basically the same. IES light in a cube approximately the size of the theatre space, just to start and test lighting.
The VRayIES in the Max file won't show, at all, just a black framebuffer, and the Blender IES renders ugly, but the problem is the files themselves. I have checked them all using IES Viewer.
I am including both scenes, as well as the IES files. I specifically have been trying to use the 575W profiles, since that is the equipment I will spec. I can't get any of them to render in Max. Thank you.
