So, they have a new demo out! Looks amazing.

Can't wait to do real-time ArchViz at this quality. =) Probably still a few years away though.

Try min dist 0.1%. Its longer render time but amazing quality.

I would prefer the first option also, I love striving for photoreal.

So do you think I could get some work with the quality of the renders I have?

u think its hard to make blur reflection ?

No, its not hard, you just increase the value right?

I would like to but I need some money first. Any tips on getting work? Do you use freelancer, Elance or others? Here are some of my kray renders. I would appreciate your comments.

Yes I know I have used those settings you provided for years but they cause problems with splotches for me when poly are intersected and I don't want to spend a day fixing models that render fine in other renders. QMC has too long render times compared with CI for baking, I have 100's of maps to bak...

So I updated my kray menu .ls and now I can use new features like texture baker extend edge and the FG passes settings, however I cannot set commandline options because the kray misc tab is empty. =( Any solutions to this? I am still using LW 8.5 because I do not get much rendering work. misctab.png

Sorry but it looks like the couch is covered in clingwrap! Need more refl blur.

Hi Janusz, Yes you are right, the problem was minimum FG distance, when I put it really low 0.1% no more splotches or light leaks. See the attached image. This is great because now I have full control over kray, I can now finally do low accuracy GI but without splotches/error. Previously If I wanted...

Hi Janusz, I think you're missing the point, this is a bug, not a low gi problem, see attached. 1) I know I can use CI OFF, aka QMC, but renders take way too long and even if I use best noise removal software, it is still too long for my needs. 2) I have tried final gathering with high settings, 160...

Hi guys, its been a while (checked last post was 2008!), I do not get much rendering work. Where is everyone getting there work from, are you guys all freelance? So, I found an error with kray in LW, there is some weird blurring applied by kray on wall polygon edges that are rendered with the camera...

I render 3600x2160 for A4 on kray for the last year, it works good except on some heavy scenes it crashes on our 32bit machines, i have no problem on my 4gb win64 kray 32bit pc rendering any of those same scenes at that size. =)

Hey Direwolf, thanks for that, yeah I agree that would work, I thought of doing that but didn't want to because I wanted a totally automatic solution. I don't see why metering the full frame would cause such varying exposures verses spots. The thing I didn't think of was moving the Envelopes along t...

Hi Guys, I am trying to achieve that video camera look thats been used in alot of the latest games where if you look at the ground the camera adjusts the amount of light it lets in and the image becomes brighter but then if you look up, everything is white for a while until the camera again adjusts ...

The notes were to myself, I just thought I'd post them here as well.

Thanks for the input guys
