In the past I've been using 1st bounce irr map 2nd lightcaching
I often do this to set up lighting in a scene on a standalone machine.
I would like to switch over to -1st Irr map 2nd QMC to send this over a network rendering.
The thing I've noticed is that when I switch from LC to QMC, the lighting totally changes. The image becomes dark.
I adjust this by going into QMC GI and increasing the secondary bounces.
My question is this, is there a way to find the sweet spot on the secondary bounces? If I go from 3 to 50 it dumps alot of light into the scene, and looks very similar to the LC amount of light. If I take that up 500 it takes a little longer and looks no different than 50.
Does any one else switch from LC to QMC?
If so would you care to share your workflow?
thanks.
