Light Studio
LIGHT STUDIO is a combination between the 3D Studio MAX and the RADIANCE Render Kernel. It was developed by dlP (Die Lichtplaner – www.lichtplaner.com) and HABWARE ( www.habware.at )– which is a programmer of 3D Studio MAX Plugins. We are the first company who made this highly accurate ray-tracing software available for 3D Designers and for people who work with complex 3D Architectural Models.
Radiance is well known in the lightning design scene. Developed by Greg Ward of the Berkley University it calculates physically correct light. The problem is that Radiance is also well known for the very difficult usability and it was build for UNIX only. For more info about Radiance visit there homepage: http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/.
