X5 Vs Thea...

Agreed Very Nice Jintu. And the floor is very very nice. I also see that bugger light leak in the left hand crown molding. I've only tried the photons a couple of time and the light leaks make it unusable.

I wonder if this is a problem they are working on for final release?

Hope they are getting the hints.

I can settle without photons given the right settings. This is under 8 mins.

I am curious whether the areas considered to be light leaking are actually a condition similar to occlusion, but instead of darkened areas we are getting additional light bouncing in these locations.

Not to say that there are not leaking situations as well, but some of these like the ones by the stair rails look like they may be from some other cause.

It would certainly be good to get to the bottom of this. These glowing areas have been a problem with X4 as well.

Good point Rod. 'Leaking' is probably (definitely?) the wrong term but it looks like a 'leak' in most cases.

Agreed

This is my first raytrace. Its too dark and many other issues around it since its my first but it only took a few minutes and looks decent.

Nice design - but as you say too drk. What I find interesting is that the low light creates a patern like a high setting ISO does on a DSLR camera. That is very interesting that the render engine places that noise into a low light setting too.

still looking for the Like button!

still hoping for the latest update fix.

Thanks Jintu!

Ok so heres the latest X5 raytrace dilemma... the first one is done with all can lights as spot lights, the second in point lights and the third all spot lights except for one point light behind the camera. Im really not liking the spot lights because they have a lot of light bleeding going on around the edges of the window casing, yet the point lights definition around the cans are unrealistic. The mix between the two seem best but still dont understand why Im having the affects with the spot lights. In all pics, lights were adjusted to 100% specular and emissive.

Dam* I LOVE that floor!! Heck LOVE that entire scene!

Does anyone know whats going on with the lights in these two renderings? The first one is my latest one but if you notice the area where the can lights are is just a giant blur of light compared to the second light where you can clearly see the can light. I set the setting similar to 100% emissive and specular. Im not sure why the look so different.

Any ideas?

Figured it out! Finally! I opened to two plans and everything looked the same BUT the first pictures can lights, although the same size, color and settings was set as a 'point light' versus 'spot light' which was in the second picture. Ahh thank God I got it fixed. Does anyone know what the other two light types are used for... Spot, Parallel and Point lights? Spot lights seem to give the best results for most realistic can lights but what are the other two best used for?
