redgts Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 What is the best approach to lighting an interior space? I have a room that is illuminated from recessed flourscent fixtures and recessed ceiling lights. The images look okay but not spectacular. Should I have a generic IES ambient light in my space also or should the room be illumiated by just the many direct lights in the space? I am using a vray camera, iso400, f8 and film speed 140. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Your lighting looks fine. Its the AA and the materials that need work to make this image better. Is this animation or still image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgts Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 It is a still image and I am working on getting the materials updated. I also worked through some gamma correction yesterday also. As far as AA goes, Adaptive DMC, Michell for the filter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondex Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 IES lights on the small fixtures above the cabinets might look more interesting - you should give it a try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgts Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 The recessed lights are IES lights, using a spec from one lighting manufacturer and trying to match what color the architect is wanting to see.... Thanks for all the input so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Try renaming the file to .jpeg then upload it again. I find my .jpg's get broken up a bit on upload. So far as AA goes, I'd use adaptive DMC with filter turned off. Yours looks like its a blurring filter, so the image is a bit muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgts Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Tommy, "As far as AA goes, Adaptive DMC, Micthell for the filter.... " I am trying to resolve that muddy look, I'm working on updating the materials as we speak... I've never sure which filter works best, so I keep trying one and reading about another, etc..etc...

Tommy L Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 then dont use a filter. Control the AA by your threshold only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgts Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Will try that out and wills ee what happens. I've always had some type of filter enabled, paradigm shift there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grohu Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 After series of tests I'm starting to realize that IES lights actually slow down rendering. I have a scene with 27 lights and I get about 15% faster render times using regular ones. I'm on VRay 1.5 sp4 Thing is that none of them comes close to IES I always use IES whenever I can. They just look much more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
