Jürgen Furrer has launched IES Library, a new online library of IES files for use in architctural visualisation and illustration work.
The site currently has over 90,000 IES files available to download for free, representing real-world lights from manufacturers like GE, Osram and Philips, each with a rendered preview of the light pattern it generates.
This is a pack of 32 IES lights we’ve made to use in our architectural renderings. Now you can use these light profiles for free.

I am happy to share with all of SketchupTextureClub friends, my last 3d model made with sketchUp: is a modern villa with a pool which I made available in SketchUp 8, complete with exterior vray Visopt, Vray IES light, and fully textured. IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUp. V-Ray for SketchUp (ver. 1.48.66) has the new added feature of IES Lights and Spotlights. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflow. I included in the zip file, the 3D sketchUp model available in sketchUp 8, the vray interior Visopt of this scene, the vray IES light. And I hope will be helpful for our CG artist community ^-^.

Download Ies Lights For Vray Sketchup For Free Hello everyone, I've been struggling with my IES lights and can't make them to be rendered with Vray. When the light cache is being built, the lights appear normally but when the first pass starts, it's like all my IES lights are switched off.
Download IES files for real-world light fixtures for use in DCC and CAD software
A global standard for photometric data, the IES file format encodes the intensity and spatial distribution of light emitted by real-world light fixtures.
IES files are supported by most industrial design and visualisation software, including DCC applications like 3ds Max, Blender and Maya, either natively or through renderers like V-Ray and Arnold.
Although IES files are freely available online, IES Library collects together data from many individual repositories, including those for a range of major lighting manufactuers, and eliminates duplicate records.
Each file is presented with supporting information like wattage and bulb type, plus a standard render showing the lighting pattern it represents, generated automatically in Blender.
Files can be filtered by manufacturer or by type: there are simple categories for downlights, uplights, flood lights and multi rays.
New tagging and browsing features planned for the site
Furrer is currently in the process of populating the library with data, and says that he has around 160,000 files to process in total.
Future features planned for the site include a contextual tagging system, the option for usrs to rate individual files, and a Blender plugin to make it possible to browse files directly inside the software.
Users have suggested making it possible to filter data by the type of fixture in which a light can be mounted.
Availability and system requirements
The IES files on IES Library are free to download, and are licensed for commercial use.

V-Ray for SketchUp (ver. 1.48.66) has the new added feature of IES Lights and Spotlights. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflow. IES (Illumination Engineering Society) is a standard digital file in ASCII format, which measures the distribution of light, in other words the intensity of the light and its shape. Lamp manufacturers create these files for accurately simulating their lights and now we have the ability to add IES profiles (for light accuracy).
I have a new second tutorial, just published called Basic IES Light Tutorial using V-Ray for SketchUp. I use V-Ray release version 1.48.90 in it, which is a much better and stable release.
In this simple tutorial we are going to set up three basic pin lights using imported IES files. You can download IES files files of your own choice from here GE Lighting and more here IES Maps and a SketchUp light fitting here. More IES files here if those don’t work for your particular version of V-Ray.You can also download the GE Light*Beams 3.0 software at the bottom of this page. Its a powerful lighting design aid for GE directional reflector lamps. Included is a complete database of IES files for current GE products. Another collection of IES files can be found in the links below:
Here is the room set up. A simple box with 3 pin lights as shown in the image below.
Follow the steps highlighted in the following images below.
Steps 1-2
Step 6
And here is the render where I used 3 different types of IES light data. You will see the rendering time using default setting with no sky and no physical camera, the rendering time is just 14.7 seconds. You can also see the difference in the spread and intensity of the three lights.
Some sample render scenes using what we have learned in this tutorial.

I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial and find it useful in your future projects.

Also here is another short tutorial on using IES lights in a 3ds Max work flow, may be useful in helping you understand the concept and use.
Thanks
