Title: Light Intensity column value in Scene Explorer?
Post by: nauticus25 on 2015-03-12, 21:29:01

What unit is being reported to Scene Explorer for the Light Intensity column of CoronaLights?  PhotometricLights seem to be candelas, but I've no idea what value CoronaLights are.  It doesn't appear to be candelas.

The reported intensity has to be custom-crafted so the illumination in viewport will +- match what will be rendered. I am not sure if I can somehow work around this...

I wouldn't spend time on it, I was just curious.  I prefer lumens anyway as that is how lights are specified to me by our electrical engineers.  I was investigating using the scene explorer as a kind of light lister, but ecximer fixed the daylight problem with his light lister tool so I'll be using that instead.

Thanks for the quick response!

fixed - now the same intensity as in Corona Light UI is shown
