IES problem - Alpha 6 vs 7

[Guillermo Leal]

the ies lights seem to be behaving incorrectly in the new alpha 7 version. see the attached images, nothing was changed just opened the file and hit render.
Max 2014.

Is the light inside a rectangle or a sphere? Sphere should work

[Guillermo Leal]

its a sphere, i just removed version 7 and tried 6 again and it works fine.

i have attached the file so you can try it as well.

ok, I'll take a look

This is actually a bugfix, the A6 version is working incorrectly. The IES is defined only for a hemisphere, so it should be black on the other hemisphere. This was fixed in A7, so now it renders consistently with the 3dsmax photometric lights.

Thanks for the clarification.
