Wish - override GI color?

[Micha_cg]

Hello,

I ask me, could it be possible to get an option to overwrite the material color for the GI calculation? Example: I render an airplain interior. If I use dark wood at the walls the whole room looks very dark and it's not easy to get a homgeneous lighting. If I use a warm bright wood the room get the right mood. If I use the dark wood and the GI cache of the bright wood, than the dark version looks nice too. Since the GI color isn't direct visible it could be nice to set a GI color at the materials. From renderman rendering I know this kind of feature. Will it be possible at VfR too?

Ciao,
Micha

The VRayOverrideMaterial will be part of the next full version.

In the meantime, precalculate all of your GI maps with a different material, save and reload them, then swap the material back and render.

Great, that is it!!!

PS: the black wood version is canceled, so I must not workaround.
