Color Bleed with Mental Ray

[ivanjay]

Hi all.

 

I am running 3ds max design 2011 and working on an interior scene.

 

I am playing with the finishes and running into some terrible color bleed. I am trying options after options to get rid of it and just cannot get good results. Attached is the max file.

 

Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!!

Your lights are orange and are visible in render. Change that and you'll be fine. The rectangle lights are ... I have no idea why you have created them like that.

I have no idea why they came in orange, very strange.

 

Are you referring to making them visible or orange with the "why you have created them like that"? I make them visible so I do not have to model the fixture.

rather than change the lights, why not just change the white point in the exposure settings to 2800 (the same value as the lights)

They are instances so it is not a hard change.

They are 2800K so it's quite orange unless I'm just missing your ies file for the lights but it shouldn't change the color.

As for my comment on the rectangular ones - they are visible but they are bigger than your ceiling and flush with the ceiling.

Drop them by 10 mm or create holes for them.

sorry only had a quick look at the scene, just noticed you had a few different types of lights
