VrayIES shape & soft shadows

[bardo]

I've a problem with IES lights.

I've attached a simple scene as reference.

ies_example.zip

I'm trying to have softshadows but it seems that vray ignore the shape of the ies file.
I've tried also the "custom shape" option using large values (I supposed that the IES lenght,width,height,diameter are the custmo value to drive the shape. is it correct? ) but nothing..always the same results.

Where am I wrong?

Thanks in advance

Sorry bdancer,
have you got time to check what I wrote?

[bdancer]

Thanks for the report!
Fixed with https://github.com/bdancer/plugins_d...f07b1cd6f2918b - "Shape" should now work as expected plus more modes added.
"Update Exporter" will help.

Thank you but I've always the problem with the "update exporter".

This is what console give me

Are you behind proxy?

[bardo]

yes.

actually I haven't push this too much because probably it's our network setup.

In any case, if you have any tips to give me...otherwise I'll wait for an updated build when available.

[bdancer]

You could set git proxy with the following command in "Command Prompt":

git config --global http.proxy http://proxy_address:proxy_port

@bdancer
I didn't test your GIT suggestion due to the workload but I've seen that you uploaded a new build so i tested it.

now, the preset shapes are working (i've just tested the circular actually) but the "from file" option I still think it doesn't work.
I've checked the soft shadows option too but without any luck.

the shadow is still sharp.

Here test_IES.zip you'll find a simple scene with an IES light with a really wide IES profile.

I don't think it's an IES profile problem.
Try also the the other IES profile I've uploaded or, if you find someone is working as expected, could share here?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for bumping but have you checked this?

[bdancer]

Thanks for reminding! I've made an additional fix, nightly will be uploaded soon.

[bardo]

Tried and it works!

Thank you!
