For Fake GI ?

[XThejon]

Is "Final Gathering" what you are looking for?

[Memodin]

Yes, final gathering is good.
But i need a faster solution.
When i work at lightwave, there was a script, it generates a lot of spotlights and that was good for me. But if i can't find a faster solution, i will do it with final gathering.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's the same as your lightwave tool, but you can generate a lightrig from an image (which can be HDR or not). Get/Primitive/Light/Light Rig from Image. It will create a bunch of infinite lights.

Memodin is talking about a Light Dome

Its very easy to make and relatively lighter on rendering.
Just make a poly half-sphere (dome). Not too heavy. Maybe 8-12 point around.
Constrain a Omni Directional light to each point. Select all these lights, and direction constrain them to the center of the dome. Also in all of them, turn on shadows and set to shadowmap, and make it so the shadows are very blurred.

Thanks Zen. But i did it with final gathering. It gave better quality.
Thanks everyone...

So after all you didnt use a GI fake but the real deal :D

[AgustinLV]

There's another solution actually to fake GI. Is faster than real GI, although it doesn't make up for GI on a nice kick ass final render. Use an ambient occlusion shader as your primary illumination shader. You'll get an all white model with shades of grey on the occluded areas which show all the detail of your model.
