vray sun question..

[shikodesign2000]

Hi,

 

When I make an interior, and add vray sun to act as the sun outside and emits lights to inside the interior through the window, I can't control the light on the floor!! it's too strong, I tried to reduce the vray sun intensity, but the light on the floor still strong!! how to reduce it??

I would darken the floor material and add more reflectivity. If the space is too dark I add an ambient omni light.

If you are using a standard max camera, you will need to reduce the vray sun multiplier as low as 0.01. Or you can use the vray physical camera, leave the sun multiplier at 1 and adjust the aperture and shutter speed to control the exposure.

sun intensity outgh to be no more then 0.003 or even less, with either standard or vray physical cam.

 

unless, in vray physical cam, you change the shooter time as stef mentioned or change the vray setting to a lower luminosity values.

 

if you are not very familiar with vray setting luminosity, I would go for the sun intensity to 0.002. ligther floor colours would certainly look much brighter then the dark ones.

Thank you my friends, I'll try your advices and get back with the results;)

Also, I think that I can try to add a vray light object parallel to the window opening to act as the light source which fill inside the room, and reduce the vray sun intensity, I'll try this also, thanks again:)

This is kind of a "band-aid" approach, but in combination with lowering the light intensity; a lot of times I will adjust the refractive value of the glass the light is coming through so it doesn't let as much light in.

 

I've definitely had the same problem though so you're not alone.
