Store Direct Light ON/OFF - Still little bright

[cecofuli]

welcome back

i've found a odd "problem" (if it's a problem). I create me LC file (fly-through) in a simple animation. And same for the IM (incremental add). So, i've 2 file, one for LC and one for IM and rendering my animation.

The problem is the Store Direct Light option. As you can see, the still wuth Store Direct Light OFF is much bright. Why this difference? It's normal?


Store Direct Light OFF 13 min



Store Direct Light ON 20 min

What's your LC settings? The sample size or filter size might be too big.

Hi,

the room is built in cm and LC sample size is in World , 2cm

Filter is by default.

the one with store direct light on there is actually brighter than the other, which is how i'd assume it would be. have you named them correctly?

Other than that, they look how i'd expect them to. It's not supposed to make a huge difference, just changes the way it calculates it slightly.
