Here i told Kray to render all luminous surfaces as direct but since kray still renders them as one lumelight, rays will be shared among them. Very grainy!

Here is kray with more luminous lightsources and still using auto mode. Kray will see the 12 different lightsources as ONE lumelight (reported in statuswindow) since we havent divided them into parts manually or by using krayautoparts plugin. All luminous surfaces have different intensitys so some u...

You may increase light by changing gamma to whatever suits you or switch to exponential 10 for example. that will defenetly brighten up the room for you.

Skyportals will work like that but no photons will be wasted as Ervin explained.

I will also look into the scene.

I think the problem is that people dont understand how "indirect mode" works and how "direct mode" work. Kray have many ways of calculating the light and "Auto mode" is a mix of both indirect/direct together. Here is a simple scene 2planes luminous 1000% where i have fo...

Kray renders that glas very slow and G investigates why.

Thanx for that input weepul. The Skyportals we plan should be possible to add to any surface visible for the camera or not.

Since im no expert in postprocessing/afterFX/razor or whatever, Is that what we want or will transparency in alpha cause problems in some situations? Do we need to have them both,ability to render out alphas with and without trasnparency taken into account? Im interested to hear what the needs are a...

I must also add to the chorus, Very very nice.

Adding limitdr -1; to tailor of kray will force the OUTPUT of kray to have a limited range (remember kray works in floatingpoint range internally and convert that to what you see on the screen). When you add limitdr 100% to a luminous surface you affect the photons/rays emitting from that surface on...

I added Weepul to the openbeta.

If i understand it correctly youre a customer and then your already are on OB program. Latest version released as OB is 6.5 free to download for all registered users.
