Please read the gallery rules before posting.

WOW!!...that looks spot on....your lighting is perfect.

What did he do against the rules?

sorry, now fixed no problem in further posts

Very nice! Two tips:
1) add a bit of randomness to the evn surfaces (stain, scratch, part of translucent paint, such stuff...)
2) 'over-expose' your background image. When you're in a room the outside looks much brighter (relative to inside)

1 thing that i don't like radiosity is that it makes everything dull.

i use final gathering instead, but how come people are using GI instead of FG?

[WhiteRabbitObj]

The most powerful and realistic method is to use FG and GI together! Of course, it takes mucho longer, but it looks beautiful!


As a side note, I've been having problems in Maya using Final Gather when I change the camera environment color. If I turn the environment color from black to grey or white or anywhere in between, it starts blowing my character out as if I had too much light. Anyone know why this is? Does the environment color act like luminance as far as Final Gather is concerned? This is with Mental Ray 1.5b for Maya 4.5. Thanks!

Looks great man. :thumbsup:

Where and what exactly is casting light in this (CG speaking). Is it a direct light? Where is the initial contact?

I'm just curious as to how you trick the GI into bouncing into the room so beautifully.

Again, great stuff. :)

[Stimpy]

how about rendering a seperate pass for some specular highlights.. otherwise all your objects have the typical FG clay look.

yes i used thet classical method, area light in the windows to get the smooth result.

I think that is by now the best way to simulate a real room environement because you can play with many things. Mainly the trick is play with primary and secondary bounces, and also the dark level (much better to down the primary and secondary bounces and increase the black level).


So there are 3 lights in the escene, An spot light for the sun, and 2 area light in the windows, that is all. I will post later the effect of each light to se the effects.
