Understanding the Parameters of a Light Field Sensor
This page describes the parameters to set when creating a Light Field Sensor.
Note: The Light Field feature is in BETA mode for the current release.
Oriented Faces
Light Field sensor measures the distribution of light hitting selected Oriented Faces after a reflection or a transmission.
The faces are meshed using either Direct simulation’s options or Local meshing, and the light distribution is stored for each triangle.
Incident and Azimuth Angles
To measure the light distribution, the sensor requires a sampling of the angular coordinates defined by the incident and azimuth angles.

The smaller the angular resolution and the thinner the meshing, the larger memory used to generate the Light Field file and the bigger the file size. |
