Re: Vray Physical Camera

hey a fellow south african ...

physical camera (in the first vray release) needs the lights (point lights, rectangle lights and HDRI) to be set much higher in order to be picked up ie: 50 000 as oppossed to the default camera which will read at 10 or 30 or whatever... its because the physical camera is made for the vray sun which is bright and the camera couteracts

this has been fixed in the RC i believe...

Yes, in SR1 the vray light settings have been changed and there are now more options for setting the light output. I found it usefull to read http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150SP1/light_params.htm
and note that if you use 'watts' then "A typical 100W light bulb only emits between 2 and 3 watts as visible light"

Re: Vray Physical Camera

What i'm trying to achieve is to create a scene that is bringing in natural light (Sun Light) and un-natural light (Down Lighters). IE sunlight coming in thru the windows as well as having down lighters in a room. Do you guys have any suggestions for render settings?
