VRAYplane or Vray light parameters

does it exist in vrayforc4d? if yes how to do it
dont say area light please.

thank you

not yet,
we hop we can add this in an later update.
cheers

would be nice,but i would prefer to see the last 2 tag options in ur tag:
affect diffuse & affect specular ...since the options in attribute manager doesnt work with vrayforc4d :cry:

[glass.use]

better to include it all! :D

Hi glass.use,
The Plane one I think is our Rectangular Area Light.
In max the VrayLight is actually an area light only (rectangular, spherical or dome).
The only option missing from our implementation is the affect diffuse/specular/reflections (your screenshot is outdated...) one, but it's not our choice because is a feature available only in vray for 3dsmax for the moment.
When we'll have this important feature available to us too, you can be sure that we'll add it.

Cheers
Daniele

ah ok sorry, i missunderstood.

of course vrayplane is arealight, as daniele says.

What about light intensities like cd/m²? Are they planned? Would be great.

[stefan]

eMeL-ViZ,
all usual photometric lights are already in.

cd is an old unit i think. today lumen (lm or lm/m2) are used.

Okay that makes sense, but brings some questions with it. For example, when I want to bring a little more "life" into my Scene and decide to let the Monitor shine with 350 cd/m², how do I have to translate it into lm/m²/sr? Are there any references I have to know or read? Of course I can play around with the Luminance Channel of the vRay Material but I would like to do this with an Area light.

Thx,
Moe

cd is an old unit, the new is lm.

please look into google or your school physics book how the tranlation of this is;-)
