True photometric light data in MAXON Cinema 4D!

The BlackStar Photometric IES-LDT-Shader brings photometric lighting data into MAXON Cinema 4D! As opposed to simple point- or spotlights the usage of photometric data creates a more irregular and asymmetrical light distribution. This significantly increases the impression of a real light source which greatly enhances the visual quality.
More info in the manual!

Available for: Windows / Mac OS X both 32 and 64 bit, for Cinema4D Versions R10 and anything later.

For further information about the availability on your platform please contact us.
