HELP! Problems with adding more photometric lights

Hello,

I need some quick help as I have a deadline looming. I am using skylight and a sunlight and all is working fine. The problem is I cannot add any further photometric lights. I tried Natty’s tute that uses an IES file, but it doesn’t have an effect at all. Ive disabled all lights except that and still the same thing, the image is in total darkness.

If I add an omni light however, it works fine!

Can someone please give me some help!

have you tried increasing the ies multplier … say to 20,000 rather than 2000… see if that works.

ta !

Thnx Natty! I tried doing that and sure enuff it worked.. origianlly I was using intensity values of around 3000 or so as per your tutorial. Is there a reason why I need to jack the intensity up so high whereas you were able to get results with only 3500 or so?

Thnx

the scale of the model might have somthing to do with it or units?

thnx

ooohh yep it makes sense cos the scale of the model is quite big!

Thanks Natty!
