J.R. Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 mental ray is perfect for outdoorscenes. for plain outdoorscenes you dont necesarily need photonbouncing imo. are you looking for the skydome-effect? do the following: -create a skylight (found in standard lights) -in rendersettings turn on finalgather -start with samples-settings between 10 and 100, for final use 600 to 1000, you can speed it up by turning up the radius/min radius. done. hit render. add a sun light as MR-area spot or direct and turn down intensity of both lights.
