Performing Automated lighting Calculations in OG on to Scale diagrams
I am keen to hear from anyone who can help me.
I am creating a aerial perspective to scale of film sets used in studios or locations. Within this I drag and drop in lights and sets from stencils, using the scaling mechanism. Given that any specific light outputs a known amounts of light that falls off using a inverse square law I was wanting to enable a "light" from the stencil to possess these values. So that when I drop it into a set and I drag it to a point it automatically give me a value at that distance. So to give a example. If I had a bedroom set within a studio I could then drop in a light in my sketched diagram. Lets say a 2K, and point it through a window towards someone sitting on the bed. If that light is at a distance of 5 meters from the seated person I want OG to to use the distance and apply the inverse square law to calculate the value at that distance. So to explain further. I am fairly certain there are two ways to do this. The first would be with a Action. Within Properties:Geometry the X and Y coordinates are given of the location of any object that is dropped in. I have enabled the scale. Then within Properties: Action I want to have "clicking with the Browse Tool: Runs a script." So that when I click on the runs script button it would run this calculation. The second and easier way would be by drawing a line from the light to the object with the Edit/Insert Variable/Line Length function. I understand how to do this but have not worked out how to get this line length to perform a calculation. So that rather than display the length of the line that it might use these values to perform a calculation. I am most interested to hear any suggestions. Thankyou. Adrian. |
