Light reflection burns my image..

[nirsul]

hi

how can I remove this aweful light burn on my wall ?



I used a photometric light.
I tried disabling diffuse - to no avail.

I also tried playing with the material but again - nothing.

In Mental ray there is a parameter to avoid just that.

Any idea ?

Disable specular? Difficult to tell from this crop.

There's no option for specular in Photometric light

BTW the wall is of marble so I must have reflections.

It´s a invisible light-source?

Move it further away from the wall...

[nirsul]

invisible indeed but I must have it there for general light emission - lots of light like it in that hall (it is an all around events hall - weddings and stuff)

[tricky]

Must it be a photometric light? Can't it be faked?

[nirsul]

Do you thing that a vray light can be used to solved this ?

I don't want to replace them all and find out it was in vain.

[voltron7]

have you tried a different photometric file? I've heard sometimes even the IES files have errors...

[nirsul]

I resorted to replacing those light with Vray lights and it did solve the problem by unchecking "affect specular".

thx

If it is (was) a specular problem unlinking the specular highlight glossiness from the reflection glossiness setting on the material and setting the specular glossiness to 1.0 usually solves it aswell

Not lighting like you're in scanline would help too
