helllo mates

someone could show me the true

thanks in advance

You mean GI detail near the corners? Its dist threshold, 1.0 is the highest value, 0 is the lowest one.

hey gonçalo,
thanks by your replay... it was exactlly what i need... if was possible, answer me only one more, tell me: i've trying to achieve the same effect that you get at corners... but without sucess, because here it takes too much time using photon maps. then, i tryed to do it with irradiance.. so,i guess that i need to put 1,0 in dist tresold to get so good corner just like yours, isnt is?

thanks very much

No, 1 it would slow down a lot the irradiance map, use 0.2 - 0.5 (maximum), usualy 0.2 is good and quite fast... But when using photon map, better to trace more photons, until you get some detail near the corners, or using retrace treshold instead, (I dont use to like it thought)

Good luck
