Hello!

I have the following problem.
I used qmc as primary and light cache as secondary gi engine.
After calculating the light cache wich looks okay at the calc. Phase
The colors become kind of invert, highlights getting dark and shadows bright.
Im realy clueless about this ?!?

Using:

Vray. 1.47.03

Pri: qmc
Subdivs: 12

Sec: lc
Subdivs: 2000
Sample size: 0,02

color mapping:
expotential

looks to me like you either have the “show GI only” option on in the global switches rollout, or else your color mapping settings (bright/dark multipliers) are swapped.

Best regards,
