[esp-r] Re: Radiance coupling and control of BSDF shadings

[Achim Geissler]

Dear Germán

to control lighting power from a yearly data set (as I understand you would have as output of the Three-phase-method) you would probably best use the tdf file input as described by Jon.

The BSDF-files can hold more than one data set, basically. So, if you control your blind with a given set of possible settings (up, down horizontal, down 45 deg and down closed for example), you can probably have all the according data sets available and switch during run-time.

Best
