My former colleagues at Lam Partners are incorporating some impressive rendering capabilities into their lighting design work flows, using NVIDIA’s Iray rendering software integrated into modeling packages like Rhino and 3Ds. Plus they’ve got some fun new toys like a … Continue reading lam partners and nvidia iray
For hard-core lighting designers: A very detailed description of daylight simulations, from Ian Ashdown, the Chief Scientist from Lighting Analysts, Inc., one of the two industry leaders for lighting simulation software (maker of AGI32, which is popular in the US). http://agi32.com/blog/2016/03/26/climate-based-daylight-modeling/ Continue reading Climate-Based Daylight Modeling | All Things Lighting
Math and I don’t get along all that well, even on simple formulas. So that is why I love this “rule of thumb” from Wikipedia: “Doubling the distance reduces illumination to one quarter” Continue reading inverse square law (so you can remember it!)
