Hello everyone.

If direct light of perhaps the sun is filtering to the floor of an interior, how can we teak the amount of light desired to be bounced to the ceiling?

The ovius first choice is to make the sun brighter.... but what is this overkills as burned out hotspot ( not desired on the floor ) but want more light to the ceiling?

Is there a way to increase the "strenth" of the photon?

Fprime and LW have the % of radiosity setting, this somehow helps...

What in Kray?

Thanks in advance....

Photonmultiplier 1 is standard. Larger values will increase colourbleedings and light bounced but it will not be physically correct.
Common settings for an interior (when i do it) might be exponential tonemapping 1-100 and photonmultiplier 1-10 depending of the look i want.
