Description

LITESTAR 4D Litecalc serves as a comprehensive lighting design tool that encompasses various functionalities, including the design and management of both indoor and outdoor spaces, such as expansive areas and sports facilities, as well as roadways and tunnels. It allows for the management of materials by defining attributes like reflectance, transparency, specularity, and roughness, in addition to offering the option to apply textures to surfaces. The module also facilitates the analysis of calculation outcomes through the visualization of different parameters, isolevel curves (both isolux and isoluminance), and pseudo color diagrams. Furthermore, users can benefit from high-quality rendering and ray-tracing capabilities for both photographic presentations and printed project documentation, ensuring a comprehensive overview of calculation results and graphical representations. This multifaceted approach enhances the overall design process, enabling more informed decision-making in light planning.

Description

Radiance is designed to assist lighting designers and architects in forecasting the illumination levels and visual characteristics of a space before it is built. This software package comprises tools for modeling and converting scene geometry, luminaire specifications, and material attributes, all essential for the simulation process. Utilizing ray tracing techniques, the lighting simulation calculates radiance values—representing the amount of light that travels through a specific point in a designated direction—and typically presents these values in a high-quality photographic image format. Users can analyze, view, and modify the resulting images within the software, as well as export them to various widely-used image file formats, thus enabling the creation of printed outputs. Of particular importance to users is the primary component of the Radiance package: the lighting simulation engine, which not only determines light levels but also generates detailed images, allowing for enhanced visualization and assessment of lighting designs. Furthermore, this capability aids in refining the design process by offering insights into potential adjustments before actual construction begins.
