FRUSTRATED USER

Im about to pull my hair out!!!

I am using Viz4. Downloaded some luminaires from erco and have placed them in the scene. I have also added some linear photometric lights as well.

My rendering time is at 45 minutes with a black screen as a result. Ive tried increasing the linear lights to 12000 candles and nothing…they default at 1500.

Can someone please take a look at this file…and tell me what the heck I am doing wrong..

I appreciate any effort taken.

Thank you.

you use photometric lights with vray?

is this supported?

check this thread out that Goncalo started:

i assume the massive time it takes to create the imap is because I have over 30 photometric lights and 20 or so erco lights…???

I just increased the dimmer spinner for the erco lights from 100% to 500% and the lights seem to be working now - i increased my first diffuse bounce to 4 and second bounce to 1 and seems to be ok…

any reason for this?

Is your scene modeled with the correct scale/units?
