Nice Natty, Do you ever sleep?

Why turn on overide max environment and the trun down to zero? Did I see that right?

[natty]

Because if you dont then the max enviroment will produce GI

nice work Natty.

But i might suggest that you make the video 1024x768 maximum cause its much easier to see. plus it will make the video small (Mb's)

[cocolas]

nice one Natty!....

so what do you think it's the best combination for interiors:

lightmap on both primary and secondary bounces.......or is it more like photons where the best combo is more like Imap on primari and photons or secndary??

just courious......in your it was lightmap on first and QMC on second......any reason for that ??

thanks for sharing...

Hi natty Thanks for the tutorial
am I the only one who can't see all the settings or the video is to small?

[DaForce]

see my easlier post.

Basically the movie has to be played at 1600x1200 fullscreen to look at its best. Hence my suggestion to get natty to make the video smaller.

You can always recompress the movie yourself to a smaller size. hahaha yeah right. Could take ages.

hey natty, cheers for the tutorial... can you tell me which codec i need to play it?!

[timmatron]

Yea sorry mate, apparently I dont have the right codec either. I'd love to see the tutorial though, since I've installed 1.45 and figure I'd better learn to use it well enough.

Im pretty sure it uses the techsmith codec.

[timmatron]

Awesome, thanks. I haven't had a chance to use lightmap that much. Does it work best for interiors, or is it quicker on exteriors as well?

[DaForce]

No problemo

its like photons in a sense, so only really practical for interiors.

[natty]

so what happens when you guy's press Alt & enter .. to go into full screen mode? can you see the vid properly then ?

[s0real]

i still can't see it at all?!?
