separate files for luminance on page 7833 and illuminance on page 7813 channel
data (the LogLUV TIFF format creates one file containing both channels).
One way to create PIC files is with the Lighting Data Exporter utility on page
6559 . You specify a file name by clicking the File Name button. When you click
Export, the Lighting Data Exporter renders two files. The string “_Illuminance”
is appended to the name of one file, and “_luminance” is appended to the
other. For example, if you type house as the file name, the exporter renders
to house_illuminance.pic and house_luminance.pic.
You can also open and save high-dynamic-range images in the PIC format
using the Radiance Image File format in input and output file browsers in 3ds
Max. For further information, see
HDRI Files on page 7126 .
