Hello,

how does Indigo compare to Maxwell? Anyone has experiences with that?

This simply means that you adjust master gain in light layer, having a direct visual feedback of your lights, the you adjust your light material in the 3D application. If lowering the Light layer to 15% looks good so lower the luminace scale for the material for the render in the 3D app to 15%! By ...

Hello, just for completeness, here is the result. One of my major faults was to leave 'autoexposure' on. I pushed that to 1/15 and adjusted the lights, so I don't have to use that ridiculous tonemapping scale. Now the picture looks a bit boring, but anyhow, I will add some more things like a table e...

Experienced with different lamps, still MLT only (BiDir off). Tweaked 'Exposure' in Blendigo, and had some repairs on geometry.

EDIT: the 3446 s/p render. Maybe it's interesting for future directors.

Hi dcm,

Single MLT means no BiDir ?

edit: great render

The higher the better since we want Indigo to be accurate if I'm correct ;) Personally I boosted both MNCR and max_ depth factory settings x10 permanently. Really 10.000,- MNCR? Where can I raise max_depth? Is it possible in Blendigo or do I have to modify some preference- or scene-file? Thanks, Pow

The best way here is to use LightLayers to adjust the light power, and then transfer this knowledge to the light setup and render the final without LightLayers ( => faster) Yes, but that doesn't affect the image/illuminance, just the speed. My problem is how to maintain pronounced shadows and light...

Yes, the light setup is definitely the problem. As soon as I push up exposure, the lights get washed out and loose their distinct profile.

How do guys like camox, the one who created the 'Lobby' render, (see http://www.indigorenderer.com/node/809) create their interior light setup?

Hi, I did try MLT alone. Gave me a different result. Now I'm thinking my light setup is wrong. It looks very right when using linear tonemapping (10x), but it's too dark. When I use Reinhard tonemapping, the result looks overpowered. Look at the nice IES lights when using linear. I have to use linea...

Metropolis alone = MLT without BiDir

Thanks for clarifying PS. Didn't know that disabling that feature can help. Now the sp/sec are much higher, but the result looks different. I'm looking forward seeing the result.

How to do that? In Blendigo there are only two buttons: BiDir on/off and MLT on/off. Do I have to modify the scene file for further adjustments?

Hi,

different light setup, different perceptable noise.

hmm, I tend to believe after 8.5K. Let's see how the interior cames out tomorrow.

Hi,

it's getting better now.

Hi,

would you mind sharing your wood material? Just curios, the driver is like the dresser thing I like to texture
