Art Gallery after hours

I still can not get this to render clearly and without grain. Thanks to a good friend and great modeler Ivica for the artwork and chair model.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure if you actually intended your render to be so dark (“Gallery after hours” etc), however, if you want it lighter then, using the physical camera, reduce the ‘speed’ or increase the ‘aperture’ setting in the camera menu. Or - add more lights in the gallery, I think that you would expect to see some general illumination in addition to lights on the artwork - maybe bounced off the ceiling. Also you might like to try Mado’s settings here http://www.asgvis.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=90&topic=2272.msg12958#msg12958
they work very well!

David,

Yes my intention was to have the image be somewhat dark, hence the “after hours” part. I will look at the settings you linked me to because I would like to do a daytime (maybe “open hours”) render as well. Thank you for taking the time to look at this and comment.

David,

Using Mado’s setting really increased the overall clarity of the image but now my problem is these darn light spots that have started to shot up. I do not know what these are from. I have posted a question in the general forum in regards to Irradince map min/max settings and how the affect the overall image. if you could please take a look there too. Also, Mado if you are around I would like to thank you for these settings as the have saved me much trial and error.

Wow, what a difference!
It looks great.
Unfortunately I don’t know what the blobs are. However I did notice in Mados settings that in the ‘indirect illumination’ section that he has reflect caustics checked. I would try unchecking this - it may be a caustic thing.

David,

Thanks alot. Still a work in progress but I really feel like it is coming along.

I am tweaking some settings and going slowly. I will post changes and if I get something that works really well I will post the settings.

Best regards,

Scott

Why don’t you use Vlados ‘universal settings’? Render time is a bit longer but results are always fine.
