problem with exponential type under color mapping

[sourabhb]

i am new to vray.....i was practicing some of the settings in my scene....

i rendered my first picture by assigning linear multiply under color mapping setting....but i got burn up arear in the roof near the window where i placed my vray light......

to avoid that i assigned exponential

(thanks to cg architect...i was able to solve my burning problem:D )

to color mapping but lost the brightness of my scene:confused: ...plz.. plz hlp me out with wat setting can i retain brightness of my scene as well can avoid burning parts..

hi

you can adjust bright and dark multipliers of the exponential mapping.

Try reinhard mapping, is like a combination of linear and exponential play with dark and burn values

It looks like you are using a vray sphere light at your window, try a vray plane area light instead just inside the window with a multiplier of around 5. I think it is your window light source which is giving you the burn, if you try what i suggested this shouldn't be a problem.

actually you should go for all three things mentioned so far.... and my addition would be that a little burn isn't bad, just not too much....

try gamma correction for your color mapping and set to .454 in both slots. works good for interiors

thanx a lot for ur suggestions

will work on those settings

tahnx again
