Moving from pure Irr to Irr+LC?

I have a question concerning the Light Cache and Irradiance map GI solution. I have setup my Interior scene with Irradiance map as First bounce and the LC as second bounce. I precalced both solutions, but when rendering the scene it looks more like a mid 70 discoball illumination during prom night:=)

The Irr map was precalced as low settings and the lc was set to
500 sub ans samplesize 0,2 as scale world and mode flythrough

if u need further details just shout :=

This little bugger…

I actually checked to see if it was checked or not. might have to check my vision today. Thanx a lot

:slight_smile:

These Lcd screens are bad for my eyes lol

Im curious what you mean by “pure IR” do you mean just IR map and no secondary bounces?

5

he probably means the default ir / qmc.

6

Yeah thats what I thought, but why call it Pure IR.

7

With pure IR i meant First bounce Ir and Secondary QMC, just as Werticus guessed :slight_smile: Sorry for my unspecific post then. Next time I do it right

cheers

Ah k, well IR/QMC is “pure IR” as much as IR/LC is “pure IR”.

So unless your talking IR first bounce and no second bounce… there is no “pure IR” :slight_smile:

Anyway, case closed… NEXT!!!

:lol:
