Bump And Texture Washout With Ies Sky

[badpixel]

IM USING IES SKY AND IES SUN IN MY EXTERIORS. BUT I HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT IES SKY IS WASHING OUT MY TEXTURES AND BUMP MAPS.AND I CANT FIND HOW TO CONTROL THIS. I HAVE IES SKY MULTIPLIER AT 0,2 SO I KNOW THAT MY SCENE IS NOT OVER EXPOSED. ANY IDEAS?

Thanks!

 

RADIOSITY: QUALITY 85% R.I.=15, FILTERING 5.

LOGATITHMIC EXPOSURE CONTROL 60 BRIGH. 50 CONTRAST.

IES SKY=0,2

IES SUN=1000lx.

 

Greetings.

I haven't used the IES sky, but how about playing with the logarithmic exposure? Try switching it off and then adjust the intensity of the IES sky.

 

Hope it helps

it was the exposure control. it never occur to me that will be that.

thanks for your help Brolloks. I was having a really bad time trying to solve this.. now i only have to adjust de material settings.

I never use exposure control and it was the first thing I discovered where Max and Viz differ. Max doesn't have exposure control active by default, but viz does. I still have to find a good use for it... Vray with Global Illumination seems to work better for me.

Well, i dont use max much, but im thinking in leave VIZ, because max looks more complete, and also because someone told me that v-ray dont work with viz. I use exposure control because the help menu, under Radiosity Workflow says that you have to use it.thats why it would never occur to me that the exposure control was the problem, its was a default setting for me.Anyway thanks again for your help.

Viz and Vray works. Viz is just a scaled down version of Max aimed at the Architectural field. I used to use max but moved to an office running Viz. Does the job as expected!
