irradiance map..

Hi,

 

In the tutorial of moving objects in vray animation:

 

http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/150R1/tutorials_anim.htm

 

I have a question:

 

In the part of the tutorial of calculating irradiance map:

 

(Once we have the light cache ready, we need to calculate the irradiance map:

3.11. Change the Primary GI engine to Irradiance map with High preset.

3.12. Set the Noise threshold in the QMC Sampler rollout to 0.002.

3.13. Turn on the Don't render final image option in the Global switches

rollout.

3.13. Set the irradiance map Mode to Multiframe incremental.

3.14. Render every 10th frame of the animation to calculate the irradiance map.

3.15. Change the irradiance map Mode to From file with the just saved file.

3.16. Turn off the Don't render final image in the Global switches rollout.

3.17. Render every 1st frame of the final background animation with the saved GI solutions and save the animation as a 48bit .png sequence.

 

My question is in number (3.14): I suppose render a sequence every 10th frame, right? ok, fine, after this in (3.15) I suppose to change to "From file mode" with the just saved file!! which file?? I just have rendered every 10th frame, e.g. sequence of separate files, so what shall I put in the "from file" space?? shall I put just one file? ok, what is it? or shall I put the sequence of files that I had rendered every 10th frame (in number 3.14)?ok, how can this be done?

 

I'm sorry cause I've asked many times in this tutorial, but I'm in bad beed to make it for my projects.

 

Thanks so much for all your time.

 

Best regards,

Vlado is talking about the irradiance map file which is written incrementally. I would suggest, if yu have not this one before, do this tutorial first:

Then do the one you just did. It may help you out.
