i3dOP is designed to allow anyone interested in lighting to quickly view the output of a light fixture in a fast, efficient, and visually realistic way.
Lighting analysis and design should be quick and easy. The more quickly the software responds to the users questions, the more time there is left for exploration and experimentation - increasing the prospect of a great design.
i3dOP works with standard Type C IES format files allowing the user to position a fixture in a simple grid, and explore how light from the fixture projects onto a wall, the ground, or a surface as the position of the fixture is changed dynamically.
Using the fundamental equation: "illuminance = intensity/distance-squared" at the heart of its algorithmic engine, we believe that i3dOP is a major step forward in understanding the most ubiquitous commodity available...light, in the environment it is used.
Note: i3dOP requires a Dropbox account to access IES files.
