Incremental Illum. for stills

Is it possible to save first the environment illumination, add later a group of lights and resave not having to recalculate the first one again, for a still in Vray?
I mean saving incrementally like in Lightscape
Thank you!

no, not really, but you can store the gi solution, load ist and add the other lights. with that method i created an animation of a club with several disco lights :lol: worked fine…animation with add incremental every 10th frame and then the whole, stored anaimation with the coloured lights. gi is not all…you can fake a lot.

Could you explain the method you mentioned, please!

This is a well knowned problem. The incremental add is the only way to calculate new light or view.
Vlado wrotte a clear and helpfull tutorial on that, time ago . You should make a “search” in this forum or go to the vrayinfo section.
Aren’t you using “Insight” anymore. Welcome to vray…

What is “Insight”?

he probably meant brazil…hehehe…I recognize that scene in your avatar…wasn’t that one of the photon lighiting tutorials for interiors w/ brazil??..one of those in the tutorials area for registered users??..

i remeber going through that scene trying to figure out photos for brazilll…and as much as I liked the prog…the workflow for setting it up and get it to work was very convoluted…to say the least.
