Common Common :: Render Theory

this is the image quality i’d like to have for my animation…
this renders fine when i just calcuate the ir maps for the first couple frames and render a segment of the animation…

when i save the ir map(same settings…) for the full 220 frames…
i get this darker unacceptable looking image quality..
the ir map saved every 10th frame and produces this
darker looking image no matter what i save as…jpeg targa avi…etc

why does it work when i render only a portion of the animation…
but fall apart when i set it to render the whole thing

there are 2 vray lights one with a .5 multiplier another with a 1.2
and both have 25 div’s

the purple boxes have self illumination and a vray wrapper in order to give off some GI…is this information not stored in the IR map or something??

please dont cross post like that. “render theory” and “image uploads” are both the wrong place to look for answers to problems your having.

most people post in general when they are having problems. “image upload” is really for image crits but i suppose its also used for issues as well :smile:
