Problems with Renderelements ..

[tom schuelke]

Hi ,

we recently started to use lwf on our interior and still are not realy comfortable with it, because we feel our images often seem to look quite washed out. So i took one of Bertrand Benoits masterpieces, and just wanted to reproduce some materials, to make more used, realistic materials. in this case , the white color of the ceeling in BB images seem to change slightly over the surface.

my biggest Problem at the moment is, that the renderelements doesnt get rendered as i would expect them. it seems, the reflectionpass and also the lighting pass seam to react on the blendmaterial as if the contrasts of materials used in the blendmaterials get much stronger as in the rgb pass of the image..

here are some screenshots and renderelements..

any ideas, whats wrong ?

By the way, i changed the color mapping setting now to gamme 2,2 and from "colormapping and gama" to "color mapping only (no gamma)", which makes the contrasts much stronger in the final image but again darker, wich i fixed now with longer shutter speed times inside the cam..

Hi,

Very odd lighting pass here with the 3DS Max native Blend material. I have reproduced this here with simple setup as well.
While we are trying to find what is wrong here you can workaround it using our V-ray Blend material.

I have contacted our developers about this issue and the only solution to get correct render elements is to use V-ray blend material instead.
The native 3ds max materials are not able to fill the information required by our render elements and this produces incorrect result.
