Photometric Lights in VRay 1.5

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

I’m working on an interior scene at the moment and I used some Photometric Linear lights. I had to set the intensity of these lights to 4000 lx at 2000cm to get a bit of a result, while in the past, 400 lx at 200cm was enough.

Am I missing something here? I’m using the VRay 1.5 settings for the Sun/Sky and Camera. Could it be that I have to check the “Use 3dsmax photometric scale” tickbox?

I’ve searched the forum but couldn’t really find anything about it.

-edit-
Setup:
Max 9 32 bit, VRay 1.5

The same goes for VRayLights by the way. A multiplier of 1.000.000 (!!!) starts to give a little result!

What is your system units scale? Are you using the V-Ray physical camera or a normal camera?

System Unit Scale is millimeters
Display Unit Scale is centimeters

We’re using Physical Cameras

Then you should check the “Use 3dsmax photometric scale” option, yes. You may also need to adjust the camera parameters (f-stop, shutter speed, film ISO).
