ps: check subpixel to get rid of sharpening in the lamp.

if theres a problem with the file tell me.
thanks :wink:

[nutriman]

greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!

One questions regarding the daytime version:
Why did you choose to put the luminous plane in front of the windows?
First I thought it's a substitute for he skylight but since you
ticked physical sun & sky I'm wondering.

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[ZuluQ]

Thanks glass!!! :D

Just a guess (I haven't looked at the scene), but maybe it's to illuminate the room better?

I've tried the Sun&Sky and the room had that nice highlight but the rest was kinda dark. Maybe that was to soften it?

[glass.use]

well yeah, like somethingtodo said mostly to give a balanced lighting.
the lumin is not perfect white, its blue a little. and the sun time give a little yellow illumination so it will give a beautiful blue with yellow lighting.

your welcome all,

[choppir]

awesome!!!

[Cian]

Thanks Glass.

This is great and a very generous share. The daytime lighting is fabulous but when I render the night version my scene looks almost totally black - not at all like the one you have rendered. Is there something I am missing?

[Woogy]

Have you change the Cam from Day to Night ?

[Neil V]

Doh! Now that's better. What an amateur I am......

The sphere still doesn't give off illumination though. Oh well.

[glass.use]

switch the units to cm in cinema 4d and give it a try, and yes you need to swtich cameras for each scene. it have different shutter and iso.

please replay if it still not illuminate.

if anyone having same problem let me know please.

[Rich_Art]

Thanks. I always learn from this kind of scene's.

Peace,
Rich_Art. :wink:

[Damsel]

Thank you so much, it helps us a lot to have scenes to study like this! Wonderful work!

[Neil V]

Yes, my measurements are already set to cm. The IES lights work fine and I'm using the night camera. The reflective ball doesn't have illumination though. Wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem?

The daylight settings are great though.

[braalin]

thank you very much glass.your interiors are great!
@ Neil V delete reflective material on the sphere and leave only the ilum mat on it...then it will illuminate

[glass.use]

ahhh yes sorry forgot, theres 2 materials on the lamp. delete the plastic to make it illuminate, =)

thanks all :oops:

[Neil V]

I amaze myself sometimes how I can miss the simplest thing. Thank you braalin. That renders beautifully now. This really is a very generous share from one of the best. Thank you.

Hey Guys, Here's a Little test with the Scene that glass.use recently posted.

I've added a water area in the scene and a landscape to the scene as well
I'm still trying out different settings and will post the night render soon.


Thanks

Andy

[Andy Epoc]

Here's the Night Scene

[glass.use]

Andy all your shots look very dark :roll:

[Tong]

maybe for he it bright ;-)

gamma
:roll:

[Andy Epoc]

Hey glass.use and Tong, i dunno if it's a problem with my LCD's Gamma it's currently set to 0 which is the default factory settings.

What i was trying in the shots is not to get that burnt Day Colour that's common amongst alot of renders but re-check if your Monitor's Gamma value is 0 if it's not maybe set to 0 and see what happens.


Other than that i will investigate in my LCD Brain! hehe :P


have a nice day guys and am preparing a scene mainly for Lighting testing and Reflection Tests.

[LoneRanger]

Thanks, got it!!

[keogh]

impressive... i' ve just started working on VRAY (2days ago) and I'd like to ask you how to turn on the light in night scene. Could you write it step by step....

[glass.use]

which light?
the lamp? theres 2 shaders on it delete the one that is not illuminated.
and make sure to use each camera with each light (day camera for day light and night camera for night)

[glass.use]

i forgot, check here also its better

[keogh]

OK... I've already done it.... ufff :wink:
I forgot to delete shader...

Thanks a lot glass.. God bless you.. :)

[daantjuh44]

thanks for the scene !

Is the key to a good day scene a hign intensity sun ?

[glass.use]

keogh did you solve it? because im confused you posted
OK... I've already done it.... ufff Wink
I forgot to delete shader...
so i think you solved it :roll:

not necessary dan, most of the time i keep the sun intensity normal.
they key is balancing sun with the camera shutter and iso and colors. to get a realistic result.

yep...

glass one more question...
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/8030/testnightwg2he6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

how could I make this or similar effect....

I think that is in IES light setup, am I right....

[daantjuh44]

yes its the ies

you can see the .ies light fuile in the downloaded map

[glass.use]

yes, the ies file is included, only click on the light tag ten ies then re-locate the ies again because i think it doesnt save it with the project

[daantjuh44]

ill check

[daantjuh44]

yep you have to reload the ies file ;)

[dr.barrel]

sorry glass, just triedd to get the nice light effects on the walls but couln´t work it out! reloaded the IES light settings in all four lights but can´t see any progress....please help...such an nice effect....

[glass.use]

use cm unit in c4d and reload the ies and use the camera for the day not night.
all will render fine then ;)

[dr.barrel]

oh yes, just changed to cm settings only for the IES lights, but scenewide in the program settings is the right way (but where is the difference and why does this has an effect for the lights?). anyway....now it looks as it should. thanks glass!

[djmag]

to be honest i download that file playing it.. as i m a beginner.. if i change something everything going perfect changing in that file.. but when make a new one like that .. everything destroyed..

imo(in my opinion) all depend on v-ray lighting effects. sun e.t.c izn't it ?

[djmag]

http://img463.imageshack.us/img463/461/testnightwg2.jpg

is that possible to make night light without IES...

i was trying to make light effect in my room but doesn't work.. please have a look..

[kraphik]

Hi

This is really helpful.
I am still wrestling with background image
issues.

[krach]

thank you glass.use it's really nice to see you help us . :o

[SonicV.1]

Hey dude... just to know... I'm applying 6 lights with a low intensity... I have no sun and I've just set the same values u got on all the scene (the phys-camera, GI's, Lights,etc.) to the ones on my scene... on preview all things seems to be ok (modeling)... but when I hit render, theres a really light saturated scene that renders... and I even set lower intensity to the lights (60% less), and still having this issue.
whats wrong? reloaded IES and got CM units too, but still the same result.
please help...

[SonicV.1]

Stupid me... i had a light somewhere else and now that i found it... its all ok!
thanks anyways!

[BanditR]

Hi,

I know this is a very old thread..hopely someone can give me an answer.

I try to get the ies light to work...but as you can see: it's not there.

1.) Units are in: cm
2.) I relocated the ies file.

What do i do wrong here.... Hopefully someone can help.

Thanks

PS: see attachment

[STRAT]

just turn it's luminosity right the way up until you see it, then adjust it down.

[BanditR]

Thank you so much!
