IES Lighting in Blender 3D

Lighting with Blender lights is a rookie move. From 2.8 onward, the IES method codes the behavior of a light into a text file. Falloff, intensity and patterns created by lenses give new life to Blender's spots.

MIND THE SCALE OF THINGS. Not enough creators stress this but with these improved lights, the scale of objects now matters more. If you're capable with Blender, the first four minutes or so will do for you - new to IES and Blender? Then stick around through the video...

I edited out a lot of rambling discovery-talk and leave just the nitty-gritty of a handful of important considerations for IES Profiles, the Blender Light Texture you should switch to, but it takes a while to cover it all.

I'm authoring an illustrated series of short sci-fi fantasy stories; you can support my new mission to space by just following or subscribing at Patreon.com/PeaceGalley It really will encourage me to make more content. I'm using multiple applications including Blender to realize some visions in 2D.
