need help to render scene with 200 lights

[Guest versionseven]

Is there any way to render a interior scene in Viz with 200 photometrics lights without crashing the computer.

I need to use that many lights because we are doing a lighting study of the dome in a palace.

Please advise.

Thanks

define crash...

probably you have not enough ram. you can increase the radiosity meshing size to reduce memory consumption.

There is no problem doing the radiosity calculation, but when I render the actual scene, it stops after rendering partially.

Any advice?

Choose Re-Use Direct Illumination in the Radiosity dialogue.

 

That option will render the direct illumination from the Radiosity mesh and won't re-process shadows and lights. This will make the renderer more memory efficient, but you may lose precision on your shadows.
