I am new to this forum but not to vray or 3dsmax. At the moment i'm diving in to faking gi. On my last project I had to render an animation of 2000 frames with GI and render it on an online render farm. The render costs were $1200,- it needed to be rendered in 2 days. Me and the client werent happy about that. Tried some fake GI on an interior project. This was my result. Quite happy about it. screenshot program I want to have precise control over the render and get as close to the GI render as possible. I've done a test with a simple red sphere and a grey floor. This is the result. how do you print screen The problem I can't seem to fix yet is how to create color bleed in a shadow with an omni diffuse without making the shadow brighter. So I only want to give the shadow a red tint. I can't change the shadow color since that would change all the shadow colors. It's quite a challenge to get it right. I've attached my scene with the sphere for you if you would like to give it a try and come with a better result. ps: I've searched this forum and picked up great tips for fake gi.

My first post! ...and I'm about to shoot myself! lol I've checked every single corner in max and vray parameters and can't find what is wrong! The light doesn't "light" the wall close to it, but does on the ones on the sides. I'm using a regular omni inside each lamp (the light is not blocked by any object, or any face of the lamps) please help!
