wow. excellent illustration crojack! i usually paint all sides of the box but I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not ...

thanks, not sure either. actually it probably does all need to be painted otherwise it will render.

So all sides top left right and bottom of the box need to be exit portals to? Because when you say you paint all sides it will reference and make them all exit portals, if your using the same mat.

Basicly my question is do I need the exit portal to be in on the out and inside of the box? or do I need it to be on all sides at all times?

I ask this because I just noticed that the top and bottom side of the box in your example are not closed but open.

Results:
Still white as hell I boxed all sides and have EP's on all faces of the box.

Heres the modelspace to show what its looking like.

I wonder if there is just simply no getting around it?

crojack · Post by **crojack** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 10:06 am

that looks right, I guess I'm not sure what you are looking for.

although i never paint the backsides of surfaces so that I can easily tell that I don't have any reversed normals.

In my pic above I have cut a section through the wall/window just for illustration purposes.

so,
outside of room(better than saying box)
normals facing inward
paint all the insides of the exit portal box

I just did another render and the light coming from the window isn't overpowering anymore! Thanks everyone, I'm gonna have to drive up to Portland and buy you a beer Crojack.

Gonna re-render scenes I posted.

i did a quick test right now and my windows are getting blasted too... refer to images.

as a side note (or two):
1. your double-hung windows are hung backwards, the top of the window should be out farthest
2. i cant seem to do any tonemapping within indigo anymore, my sliders have been rendered useless!

*edit* tonemapping problems related to 1.1.10? back in 1.1.9 sliders work as expected.
