First try indirect mode (on Quality tab-luminosity model).
Then uncheck "Cache irradiance" on general tab. This will force Kray to use brute force method. Set FG rays min max to 100-800... Read also my tutorial, more of this forum and post your results...

Kray is developed by just one man so he doesn't really have time to do write tutorials since theres loads of work with development.

We on the other hand are helping as much as we can while working at our regular jobs so I guess we're all just very busy.


About your scene. Kray needs a little bit of experience to be setup correctly. First read my tutorial. Then go step by step. Don't just throw all the lights in end expect miracle. Add one thing at a time. Use presets (medium is a good starting point).

Basically what you gotta do with Kray, is try to look from this Maxwell render image the sources / places of light, and put them to the same positions in Kray.

This way you may achieve the wanted look quite easily, other is just then tweaking the intensities etc of the lights and surfacing...

As you have seen, Kray can give great results very quickly, but the thing is that it takes quite a while to get used to, and to get best results, it helps if you understand the terminology and theory - at least a little. The forum is very helpful, and very patient with newbies like us. Lots of people will share their settings with you and you should get some good results fairly quickly.

Also, since Kray changes a bit with each OB, some of u are waiting to get a little bit closer to release so the tutorials wont be invalidated by changes done to kray.

the first result after one day of study!!!
