Light Cache/ IrMap "PITCH BLACK"

[alywhosane]

Hi guy's..

 

I am saving my LC and IMAP for my renders since they kinda take long time as i am rendering in HIGH Preset . After i use the "From File' option to load my LC/IMap so that i can straight go ahead with my renderings, i see that the images are showing up "PITCH BLACK" its just not rendering the way its suppose to. i calculated the LC/IMAP and have saved them accordingly since i have 11 views . Any help will be appreciated

 

Thanks

If you are rendering an animation. then how many LC and IR did you save in every tenth frame. and also did you chose multiframe incremental?

 

best wishes.

No i am not rendering an animation, these are 3d stills, its just that the renderings take long so i calculated the LC/IMAP for every camera in the scene and i saved them. But i endup getting black renderings..weird!! where m i going wrong ?

can you post your setting please. I think that would help me to think.

well sometimes irmap resets, so you make sure that its the right irmap you are using, check the size of irmap size. or you can use chaosgroups irmap viewer.

If you are sure the settings were right and the IR was calculated correctly, then sometines the extention for the ir map gets deleted.

Just change the extention for the ir map as .vrmap and .vrlmap for light cashe and try.
