目前市面上的照明3D模擬計算軟體有許多種,並且各有其優缺點,使得使用者在選擇使用上難以做決定。為了掌握何者最佳並最具廣泛應用性,且適合室內設計領域之使用者使用,因此有需要加以比較與釐清。本研究選擇三個市面上較多人使用的軟體:AGi32、DIALux以及Relux,並依文獻回顧與本研究實際操作軟體之方法,提出五大重要參數以及相關變數,分別為:(1)軟體「經濟性」參數:費用以及取得便利性、﹙2﹚軟體「人性化」參數:軟體介面以及語言、﹙3﹚軟體「照明設計」參數:模型匯入之完整度、燈具資料、設定彈性、﹙4﹚軟體「照明計算」參數:設定彈性、﹙5﹚軟體「運算能力」參數:報表內容與模擬逼真度。本研究並且以其參數與變數進行比較分析以及屬性評量分析。結果發現,DIALux為三者之中最佳並最具廣泛應用性,且適合室內設計領域之使用者使用的照明3D模擬計算軟體。
There are a lot of 3D Lighting Programs commercially available. And, each one has its advantage and disadvantage; it is difficult for users to choose. This becomes essential to compare 3D Lighting Programs to determine their suitability to interior design profession. This study has chosen three 3D Lighting Programs: AGi32, DIALux, and Relux. In the comparison, these programs are examined from the following parameters and variables: 1. Programs’ “Economy”: convenience of gaining programs and price, 2. Programs’ “User-Friendly”: interfaces and languages, 3. “Lighting Design”: the completeness of 3D model imported, luminaries’ data, flexibility of setting, 4. “Lighting Calculation”: flexibility of setting, 5. Programs’“Compute Ability”: reporting data and simulating reality, which are generalized by the methods of reference reviewing and the operation of these programs by this study. Also, this study has worked on comparing these programs by MDPREF analysis. In conclusion, the result is DIALux is the best for interior design profession.
