A study in DAZ’s lights. How the distance from target object affects the light’s behavior in Iray

MikeD

I had a dilemma if I had to post it here or in technical category .... Anyway ... I have made a little study about the DAZ's lights and how the distance from target affects their behavior in Iray. You can find it here in my site, if anyone is interesting!

 

Thanks for viewing

Distant lights, as the name implies, are shining from a distance (infinity, in fact) so they have no fall off and their rays are parallel.

Linear Point Lights have configurable fall off in 3delight, but in I ray they are just point lights.

You are correct Richard ... I had to clarify that the study was for Iray lights and to exclude the distance light from the fall off conclusion ....

Done....
I changed the title as well to emphasize the Iray ...

Many thanks for the comment...
