Interpolating intensity along radius #10

Open wywarren opened 2 years ago

Is it possible to build IES profiles that do not start from the center? This would effectively be a reverse falloff feature which allows the light to start further out than the origin point allowing some form of masking that isn't radial. I tried building from your source code but I think build.bat is hard coded to your local environment. Do you have additional instructions on how to build? If I can accomplish what I'm trying to do on my end I can submit a pull request.

It isn't possible to have the light not start from the center, and you can't control the falloff of the light, that is handled by the renderer. You can have a larger source radius, but not all renderers support that. I can't remember if I added an option for that. It has been a minute since I worked on this project.

As for building, there are some details in the readme. You don't have to build it to run the project though, you just have to set up the development environment in Anaconda, and run cndl.py. Building is just to create the executable and installer.
