Radiosity solution

[Michael Secrist]

Okay. I set up a scene, I run a radiosity solution, render it out and everything is okay. But I need to adjust a color on one object in the scene. Is there a way to calcute the radiosity solution to that one object without having to redo the whole scene again? Please let me know if there is a way. Thanks!

Hi Michael,

How does it look if you just adjust the color and re-render without recalculating?

Hey Fran,

Thanks for the quick reply. How's Va? As far as the color changing is concerned, the rendering looked very similar to the last one. I was asking for a employee at my job because he was working on a file and he isn't familiar with the program all that much. He called me with this issue today. I told him that he could change the color or material and render the file out again without seeing to much of a change if he left the radiosity solution alone. I just wanted to check and make sure there wasn't a behind the scene command that would, if you needed to, just recalculate the object you made changes to without disrupting the original solution. But it looks to me it would be okay if you made changes to the rendering, that it will look the same if you rendered it out with the old solution.
