Maya support for physical Light colors

[snivlem]

Hi, I'm just wondering if there's planned support for physical light colours in accurate units. IE - The equivelant to mental ray's mib_cie_d and mib_blackbody nodes.

Regards.

Edit: and maybe even the possibility to plug this into the physical camera's white balance slot.
Thanks.

We have already added temperature mode (in Kelvin) for the color of all V-Ray lights for the next update.

Thank you, this is good news.

Sorry for the old thread. But I see that this is in the newer V-Ray builds and is very useful but I'm wondering if this Kelvin temperature colour would also be useful as an independent node node...ie like the mib_cie_d and mib_blackbody nodes from mental ray.

The advantages of this are you can plug it into standard Maya lights and also other things like the camera's white balance. Just an idea!

Currently it's not available as a separate node, but I guess you can copy/paste the color where you need it.
