radiosity error

[An Erased One]

Looks strange...

Post your Radiosity settings, it's hard to guess the Problem just from the picture... ;)

It's the default settings (can't post 'em now since I'm not home).
Only thing that isnt the default is the "Accuracy" which is set to 75% (70% is default)

[An Erased One]

Weird... sorry, I can't see any obvious mistake or bug...

Is there another light under the table?

try raising the number of samples as well, this looks like there are too few samples to me (but i might be wrong). also change the light to a spotlight to it targets the window exactly (although this shouldn't have too much bearing on things as c4d uses gi sometimes these things do make a difference.

you need to boost your sample quality and min/max rays ...
check out MV's excellent tutorial here:

http://mvpny.com/RadTutMV/RadiosityTut3MV.html

it fully explains the function of min/max resolution vs. stochastic samples

Thx! Been looking for such a tut for quit some time now!

mdme_sadie: Will raise the samples and change to spotlight...

Will post the result as soon as I can render (the render time is over 5h :/)

:curious: hmmm ...

5 hours is waaaay too long for that scene ... are you using glossy (blurred) reflections? What are your hardware specs?
