[solved] IES profiles in DS

Hello!

Some time ago I found out that you can use IES profiles in DS-Iray emission surfaces. At that time I haven't really uses or tested it.

Today I came back to it, BUT found out: It doesn't work (not as expected). What I expected: When you use an IES profile, Daz takes this information (lumen, angles) from it instead of the Daz-own slider values. But this didn't happen.

So I tried some other IES (downloaded ones this time) but the result was the same: Daz' lumen, Daz' angle. Use '0' in the Daz slider didn't help.

So which switch do I have to turn? What did I  forget?

Thanks in advance!

    To my knowledge do IES profiles in Daz Studio just determine the light profile, not the power (lumen or watt).

    Ha! That's it! Thanks.

    Two or three minutes after the test, it's very obvious: it would be far too difficult to change the lumen directly in the IES every time. Good solution doing this DAZ internally :)
