VRay SDK, VRenderLight

[Karba]

For some reason VRay doesn't call function "eval" of VRenderLight, but other ones (compileGeometry, init) are called.
Where am I wrong?

[vlado]

Perhaps V-Ray does not recognize it as a V-Ray light; did you implement the I_VRAYLIGHT interface for your ObjLightDesc object?

Best regards,

[Karba]

Yes, I did.
I found, if I call eval from Illuminate it works.

I am trying to optimize VRay Mesh Light.

What did you have to change to improve the meshlight?

[Karba]

Actually I wrote new light sourse type as modifier for geometry.

New comparison with GI IrMap + BF

211 VrayLights


1 modified geom object light with 211 polygons

[percydaman]

incredible. I was always of the opinion that there had to be room for improvement with the vray meshlight/material, but this is pretty awesome.

Wow. Fantastic, research. Thats is a considerable difference.

Great Job!

A few requests:
* Can you post images with GI disabled?
* Can you do a very small animation (just a camera move)?

Thanks alot and keep up the good work.
