THanks jure Have followed that post, plus got some help from blackb1rd. His settings have seem to have fixed the problem. I have found another problem with transparecny, It seems that transparecny/translucency now works differently. Here are a few images to show what I mean. Sorry about the quality ...

Hi, I have been using 1.7 and testing some of the lumi poly scenarios. I was have problems with noise before but after talking to a few people I decided to wait till 1.7 as it was meant to be better. The results are better but was wondering if there are settings that perhaps I am overlooking. Here i...

This might be that you have GI for all frames checked, which won't allow the movement of any object. I had this problem with a character then realised it was because the character was moving so technically GI for all frames wasn't the same. Unless this is a bug???

ok here is a render of what I have just now. It takes 2.3 seconds to render which is a million times better. However I cannot get the shadow from the character but I don't know if I am doing the luminous map wrong. I back out the GI to an hdri with surface flags 1 to get the GI. I then load it back ...

Was still messing about and no luck with that plugin. I ever tried it with a spherioacl HDRI just incase and it seemed to still map it as a texture map. Was thinking some more. IF i baked the whole scene with just GI maps and tehn used a fake light to render the shadows would that still work? and pu...

Sorry for this but I think am still getting confused as it doesnt' seem to work. Why do you have to bake a seperate GI without shadows for the character? Is it only the character? I baked 6 camera angles in lightwave with kray as HDRI, I then stiched them in photoshop and tried applying that image t...

Cool thanks

Am having a go right now. I am just waitying for the hdr images to bake using kray. What I am not sure about is that should I render the images using the plugin with lightave or will kray work ok with the plugin?

Keeping fingers crossed on this working

NOt exactly sure if I am understanding u right there. But will try it and give it a go to see if I am getting u right. Does it mean I set up the camera at 0 0 and the bake the room out. I will use that baked HDRI image (which was done in kray) to light the room using the plugin? Then use a light to ...

The reason I cannopt render them out in one pass is that each frame takes around 20 - 30 minutes. So over 400 frames which is about 5 days per animation which in turn will have to be done around at least a month or more to get the animations finished but there still might be more. AN hdri option mig...

Hi all, AM still experimenting with Kray and I have now doing a new project with an animation. I was wondering if there is a way to save a GI file so it can render quicker and perhaps approximate in the animation. The problem is I have one character who is animating and therefore it can't render the...

Had a look at it a wee bit more. It seems I overlooked surface flags 1;

I am still messing about alot so will see if I can fix it with the layer effects in lightwave before I post any more

Hey people, I have just bought Kray and am enjoying it so far. I am mainly using it for mapping shadow maps etc into a real time engine so baking is very useful for me as well as the quick renders. I am having a problem in creating accurate radiosity bakes and was wondering if there is a way. Instea...
