Re: Dark ceilings...how to brighten them?

Thanks Janusz,

Area light behind camera I was thinking about to experiment with, but I have to make animation. This will become visible when camera moves, right?

And are those area lights on the ceiling double sided? i.e. will they give light spots? Now I use single sided lights...

Dark ceilings...how to brighten them?

Hi everybody!

I have a question.

How do you brighten up ceilings in rooms where the windows are relatively far away?

Do you place (double sided?) area lights on the ceiling? Do you increase diffuse/luminosity multiplier on floor/ceiling?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Pro Arch Vol 2 and 3 Announcement

Is there any news yet on the Pro Arch Volumes?

I am really interested in learning anything I can about rendering... and tips and tricks are always welcome.

Is it still possible to buy Arch Vol 1?

Re: Modern house

I like the well balanced light and the way the light falls on the grass.

Superb work!

Re: Apartement Interior -work in progress; comments very welcome

Thanks for the comments! Yes, the contrast was indeed a bit too strong to my linking as well, but I haven't figured out how to decrease contrast without reducing light in the room!. How do you do it? The noise is a problem due to antialiasing and too high bump map, I think. 4- carpet in the table is...

Re: First Kray render_need feed back!

Nice work, Christophe!

Your render resembles the photo reference very nicely.

Are the fallen leaves on the ground models or part of texture?

Re: lighting inteior

Well...as promised to let you know how it went... Hereby a render from my own project. Some sharpening and backdrop was added in PS. The resolution is small though (for testing purposes). Eventually the size will have to be 1280 x 720. I used area lights in the window (35%, inverse square falloff 5m...

Re: lighting inteior

Hey thanks, Johny! Now I get much better renders! I use area lights to increase the ambient illumination in the room. I have also tried using a floating lumi ball, but it gives light spots on the walls. I am still playing with it, though.... I think it is a matter of fine tuning and it will work out...
