Another interior + staircase: need help with lighting

[sebekf]

Hallo, classic european cheap staircase in open lounge.

How can I get more light into a room (espesially ceiling and corners) and avoid to genetate burned areas?
I think it is about adding lights :'(, any help count .

Model is here:http://www.mediafire.com/?nkc1mjimtmm


On my super fast computer 10h rendering time (res.1200x700).

Did you try adding a vray rectangular light behind the camara?

Re: Another interior + staircase: need help with lighting

10 hours for that render its to much time actually i did have a computer with celeron 1.86ghz 512 ram and, i learn how to manage time and renders, coul you post you settings let me see how can i help u with that. You have a render that at least 3 hours will be good to go! and avoid using to much subdivision on materials and for the gi use irradiance map as primary and light cache as secondary engine.

Having looked at the model there are a couple of things I would do

I wouldn't use rect lights outside the windows. I think this was a technique used in early versions of vray and isn't necessary now. It is simply increasing the glare.

I would create some external surfaces (paving). This will (in a natural way) provide light reflecting surfaces which will bounce light up onto the ceiling - which is where you want it.

Good luck

David

Dave, good tips thank you.

There is no rectangular light behind the camera, but there are rec. lights in each window.

*.Visopt is pretty default, but I use IR + LC. Subdivision on material - about 30 each.

Re: Another interior + staircase: need help with lighting

did you model the stair?...
recently i had to render something like that, but i couldn´t figure out how to mdel it and i had to go with the client only with the blue print and a sketch made by hand...

Re: Another interior + staircase: need help with lighting

To DaveReyes:
I found links to textures on this forum. The floor texture is not seamless :'(.

To arqestevez1:
I modeled the staircase. If you have a blue print(floor-plan) you have everything you need to model the staircase. If you have no floor-plan, you have to calculate the staircase and that is not funny (quick and easy).
I haven´t found floor-plan calculator(free) for staircases on internet yet.

Why do you need a computer when you can draw it by hand . I can model it, but I CAN´T RENDER IT.
