[juli51_forum]

GREEEAAAATTTT!!!!!!!,.. it works,.... it's just a simple rule easy to forget,.. wen confronted with many different new settings to learn,...

Thanks a lot.. frieds of Kray 1.7

soon back with new extrange problems to solve,.... just kidding

If my creaky old brain is still working properly, your overall percentage reflected light for any surface can be calculated thus:

((R+G+B)/765)*(Diffuse+Reflection)

Where:
R = red component of colour channel (0-255)
G = green ditto
B = blue ditto
Diffuse = diffuse channel in %
Reflection = reflection channel in %

Your result should always be less than 100%.

Probably q. easy to set up a spreadsheet to do the calculation for you when you need it.

If this is wrong, I'm sure someone will point it out.

if I multiply the sume and division of the color cannel with the sume of difusse and reflection,.. i will fas allways get values more than 100%

Eh? The (R+G+B)/765 part can only have a result between 0 and 1, so if you're getting an overall result greater than 100, it means (Diffuse+Reflection) must be greater than 100. So, you need to reduce either Diffuse or Reflection (or both).

sorry I could not look at your scene last night, but when I turn diffuse down on your wood surfaces, everything is fine. Phile is totally right.
I changed some lighting and surfaces and rendered this. I will mail you the LWS and changed LWO's.
btw FG max rays is now 1600, take it to 3200 to get less splotches, AA could use upsample 1 or 2 to get more thin lines into it.

uppss,... now i will get a depression,.. ..so nice,.. and fast... yess, it would be nice to get the scene back and see the settings diferences...

[juli51_forum]

Ok,..here is mine,.... I were still improving lights, illumination,.. etc..
but i think i got the thing,....
