Hi everyone,
I’m trying to render a whole bunch of LED lights and looking for the most efficient way of creating an LED effect. any suggestions?
is there a self illumination option for V-ray materials?
Cheers,
Mani
Re: LED lighting
Look at the material tutorial here:
For LED best you use an emitter material with a texture, so the LED dosn’t looks so homogenous. Good, if you place the emitter within a plastic housing (colored “glass” material + enable “affect shadows”).
Re: LED lighting
what should be the map used? a real led photo?
Re: LED lighting
Yes, a frontal photo direct in the lens. It’s not a must, but looks better than a simple colored emitter only. You can use a radial color gradient too, but maybe this is looking to perfect. It’s a question of how much detail is needed.
