Animation - incremental add to current map

[rojerbb]

Hi im having some problems i was rendering an animation and everything was working right i could see how the incremental add to current map was working but i had to stop my first prepass renderings to make some changes and when i tried again ... i reset the memory for the irmap ... and i started again and now is not adding anything to the samples ... that means the incremental add to current map thing is not working ... why is that??

thanks and sorry my english !

Re: Animation - incremental add to current map

When you say nothing is added to the samples, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that nothing is added from frame to frame, or that no samples are added to the map you already calculated? I'm having trouble understanding exactly what is happening.

Re: Animation - incremental add to current map

Incremental add will add more irradiance information to the irradiance map as you progress through the frames of an animation. This allows you to create a single irradiance map file with all of the information required for the full animation. A lot of times people doing animations will do a quick pass of their animation to calculate the GI and store the map on disk. Then they have the GI info pre-calculated for later use.

hello... I've read the manual and now I know what incremental add is but I have another question... can I use it for animations??? and what is the best way to do this???

Re: Animation - incremental add to current map

You pretty much have to use it for animations. The best way is to clear the current map, set the mode to Incremental Add, the run the prepass. Check the tutorial for animation in the support section for more details. Its for Rhino, but all of the animation concepts are the same.
