Here is a small test, it tooked 15 minuts with photon mapping + 6 minuts irradiance map + animation irradiance map with incremental 30 s, and AA for each frame 26 seconds, I will post as soon as it finish. 🙂 exponential color mapping [http://www.gprospero.com/vray/tests/SR-01-HSV.jpg](http://www.gprospero.com/vray/tests/SR-01-HSV.jpg) a biger version with HSV exponential color mapping Gonçalo ---

Beautiful, I can’t find one artifact. Looking forward to the Animation. Maybe you would explain to us us a little more your technique with the seperate passes. 🙂 ---

Thanks for your coments! 🙂 Here is the animation [http://www.gprospero.com/vray/tests/SmallRoom2.avi](http://www.gprospero.com/vray/tests/SmallRoom2.avi) Eric: I ve reduce the number of passes to only one 🙂 Pengo and Dynedain: I didnt use any trick, I ve only use photon map with a lot of photons… The lighting is a solid color as background with Vraylights as skylight portals stored with irradiance map, and a Standart direct light with white color and multiplier 1. And I will post the settings tomorrow Gonçalo ---

Goncalo, the animation is showing up as blank black sreen. I’m using latest Windows Media Player with divx, 3vix, quicktime, xvid codecs all installed. Did I miss a codec? ---

there are some errors in the avi data stream. that’s why our players are having problems viewing them Brim, not a codec problem on our end, but on the encoding end. take it into virtualdub if u really wanna see it. ---
