Hi there, I have a problem, rendering some nice, sunny trees in my exterior scene. I use Vray Sun (CIE Clear) and Sky (in GI and BG), also LightCache for the Seconday Bounces. Color Correction is Reinhard with Gamma 2.2. What I try to achieve is a sunny summer scene of a house, using 3d vegs - tree…

Hi Part of the problem is the position of the sun. I the image of three the sun is coming from the front side of the three, giving you a nice illumination. While in the render of the house, the sun in coming from behind the three, so you will have a lot of shadows in front of the three. Another thi…

If your leaves are an image rather than a plain color, you might try making sure that linear workflow is turned off and correct rob colors and correct ldr images are both turned on (OR go do your post processing correctly). otherwise it looks like your GI skylight is too dark. You have blue in the…

Yes, my leaves contain images. Could You be so kind and shortly explain why linear workflow is not good in this case, resp. why ‘Correct LDR textures’ or ‘Correct RGB Colors’ are more appropriate? otherwise it looks like your GI skylight is too dark. You have blue in the shadows of the tree alon…

You can still adjust the multiplier on the GI skylight, even when set to TexSky. Nothing is really automatic. And “wrong” is when something looks wrong, not when an algorithm says so. So if your shadows look too dark, increase the skylight multiplier. linear workflow… It depends on how you have th…

First I don’t like the physical sky so much, the naming of the options and the the places where to control are confusing. Often I try to use a HDRI + a dir light. I started a test of the physical sky today. For your use, I would recommend to get a brighter sky. This can be done per lower the intens…

Thank you very much - for the explanation and the link. Of course, the ‘post’ phase is a very important one for every project I’m working on. Usually I add there all the vegetation, people, sky, adjust the lighting, etc… By this certain project however, the time I have for the post-production in th…

Hi Micha, thanks for your responce too! After fooprobe’s suggestion I quickly tried out, switching on the LDR/RGB Color Corrections. It makes the leaves a bit brighter, however it totally washes up some of my other textures. I guess I should keep the linear workflow for this project, as the time p…

So, in order to brighten up the trees, I simply made the leaf image maps in PS brighter. Also I use a diffuse value of 1.25 for the leaf. And last - I converted the leaf maps into transparency maps (also in PS - desaturate, invert colors, play with tones) for the map in the Leaf 2Sided Material. T…

Looking better. If you do like to save 32bit and do color correction in post, you can keep Micha’s settings and then use “don’t affect colors”. You will get a usable image but avoid problems with your maps.
