Different outcome with the same settings

[swissdude]

Hi to the Group, has beena while - i am happy with the Software

One thing i cant get right, i have LED lights under an angle that should shine down the wall.

The same color light is the same material - so the same settings.

also the hardware is the same, size, dimensions... but the outcome is wierd.

I would like the soft fade as on the small wall to the front.

Thansk for any hints, Patrick

here a Pic from under, you can see the light is the same - but one dosent reflect on tha wall?

Thanks, Patrick

[swissdude]

when the render starts, you can imagine some kind of invisible barrier... bute there is nothing there...

[swissdude]

Update - when i turn of the top lights that shine on the grapfics the wall is fine.

any idea?

Thanks!

That's a weird on. Can you PM me the model so I can try it here and see where the problem is?

[swissdude]

sent, thanks!

This is the best i can get at the momant.

No idea why the walls are not equal

[Support]

thanks, I'll run some test and I'll get back to you on the PM...

the led lights on the left are duplicated, but strips are, so I deleted the duplicates and now it's rendering fine. I'll run some tests for the wall effects...

nice, thx.

i did so much to the model today... i must have some mistakes in it.

this is where i am now, not that bad... do need to run it longer? 800 samples now. the strange thing is i had amazing renders after 3mins, now i need for the same 5h. strage - i must have done something wrong..

I think the duplicates are causing the problem and the slow down. The back strip is also duplicated and so is the red one. So I combined all the yellow one into one strip and grouped it, no dups, and the red one is alone too, grouped as well. 2 lights total for the strips and it works much better and faster. I've set the yellow strip to power=200 and unchecked Low Power. After a few minutes, it looks really nice. oh, I've also removed the texture for the front and back faces of the strips and applied the texture to the group instead.

There is also 2 red lights, I can only find one, even after deleting the duplicates. Must be something else textured the same?

Thx, i will chek in a few days.

Cheers
