Hi,
Our client has provided us IES profiles for all the lights in a room I'll be shading and lighting. I don't have much experience using IES profiles, but from a technical standpoint, it seems to be working in the 3D app.
However, the client also asked me to place some lit candles in the scene. For these of course, he did not provide IES profiles. Since I want to go photometric all the way on this one, "polluting" the scene with candles seems like a not so smart move.
So... do I just throw some regular lights in there and set the falloff to quadratic? Do IES profiles for candle light exist (and even make sense)? If they do exist, where could I get one?
Thanks!
