Abstract: One of the major challenges in eclipsing binary modeling is enhancing the accuracy of the model while keeping the execution time manageable. In order to do so, time-expensive computation of the spectral energy distribution across the stellar surface is implemented via the lookup tables. We present here a utility that builds a Wilson-Devinney-compatible table entry of normal emergent intensities for any supplied passband transmission function by using Castelli & Kurucz's NEWODF models across the H-R diagram. The output of the utility can be readily used for detailed model light curve computations in the given passband. The program and the database of spectra may be downloaded from http://phoebe.fiz.uni-lj.si.
