light colour...big confusion

Post by nico »

hi guys, i read all the new topic in this forum but i have a big confusion on lighting setup and light colour.
so i have understand this fondamental point for a good render in kray2.0 interiors:

1 - Sun (beige colour - not yellow !!!) Powe Shader 3-8 Inverse Distance 1
it's necessary 1km of distance? what's rgb colour of beige? sun spot plugin? it's a area or spot?

2 - Area Lights - outside behinde windows : Power maximum 10 , Area Lights Inverse dist 1, blue/gray colour
what's rgb colour of blue/gray?

3 - it's necessary the skydome as enviroment or i can use sunsky in enviroment texture?
4 - what's intensity for enviroment or skydome sphere?

5 - Minimum 20 bounce lights (for mix colours) and Power in Kray maximum 0.5

6 - setup preset? medium or hight?


how can see there are same questions without answers


it is someone disposed one to clear these points for courtesy.

i love kray because it's a very good sw system but many things are not clear :!: :!:

wherever distance (but minimum 500 m) You can use spot or small area light.See attachment with marked area of light for Kray.

I use lumi blue ball or texture with Power 3 (only for blue reflections on floor) rest light is from Area lights behinde windows. See attachment.
