Modular Control

Your lighting, your way.

IES Plus is composed of modular components, letting you construct exactly the lighting behavior you need.Start with the base IES Modules, then enhance them with Color Temp Modules, Distance Falloffs, and detailed Caustics Effects.Like LEGO, but for Lighting!

Advanced Modules

The Advanced Modules are almost entirely self-contained with every relevant feature. They still rely on Utility Nodes for certain features, but they're very powerful on their own!

Base Modules

The blue colored modules are the Base Modules, which are strictly the specific shapes they represent.These are handy for simple, clean, and intuitive workflows, and for people who may not need all the extra bells and whistles that come in the Advanced Module.

Color Temperature

Hot? Cold? ...Why not both!

IES Plus comes with physically accurate color temperature outputs!

Color Temp Controller

We've also included various temperature presets for you to play with!Simply hover your mouse over the preset values > CTRL + C > hover over "Temperature" > CTRL + V.


We also wanted this to be intuitive to work with, so we changed the values decimal from the Thousands, to the Tens.^{The values after the first 2 are hardly necessary anyway.}


If you wanted to have a temperature of 3,500 K, you would simply input 35.

^{(if you need specific decimal values, say 3,519 K, you can still type 35.19)}

Color Temperature Workflow

There are several ways you can change the color temperature of the light; on a Module level, or an entire light level.The "Advanced" Module ^{(formerly "all-in-one")} comes with certain utilities built in, such as color temperature controls!
This lets you control each shapes color temp independently from the rest.If you wanted all of your Advanced modules to share the same color temperature, then you would plug in the Color Temp Controller utility module as shown above.

Advanced Module

Showing how the "Advanced" Module ^{(formerly "all-in-one")} can be used to control independent module color temperatures.*Note, the Color Temp Controller node cannot be used inbetween the nodes, only at the end of the chain; Advanced Modules are the only modules currently capable of mutli-temperature IES lights.

Temp Shift by Distance

With the Color Temp Controller node, comes a setting called "Temp Shift by Distance".
This allows you to have a gradient of color based on the kelvin scale.This is purely for fun & stylistic reasons, and does not run on real world values.

Utility Nodes

Putting the IES in UtilitIES

To make IES Plus as comprehensive as it is, we've included procedural "Utility Nodes" in this pack as well!

You can think of them as like object modifiers, but specifically for the procedural IES modules.

External Mapping Node

In this example we can see how the External Mapping node is being used to override the built in mapping settings, so that we can introduce some more features...
In this example, mirroring the IES shapes!

Master Falloff Distance Clamper

whew, that's a mouthful

The Master Falloff Distance Clamper, is intended to clamp the maximum falloff distance of the lights rays. This is useful for when you want your light's influence to only stay constrained to a specific radius.
