it's a cube but I could have made it a sphere as well. The beam kind set to none, important in this case because it's not a directional light.

Hi, First, make sure the material is the same for the front and back faces of the shade fabric, set the transparency to 30-60 and diffuse to 100. Here is a render of a shade I did, is this about what you're looking for? Mine maybe too transparent (I used 80) but you can play with the number, say, 30...

I got it working good, I'll PM you the update...

Old way... New way...

I managed to find a way to render these long lights properly, I sent you a PM with the new version for you to try it. This render uses the same light as you have, one single long light...

here's how it looks in Sketchup...

Like this one, the light is 8 feet long but made of 12 segments, so 12 lights...

you need to set the Beam Kind to None and to unchek the Low Power checkbox. if your emitter is long and not symmetrical as in a 4x4 area light for example, subdivide it into smaller light segment as each will be able to illuminate the proximity objects much brighter as the long single lamp will not ...

let me PM you...

The best way to render in Raylectron is to create your model as they would be in real life, scaling included (real life size). For example, design your light bulbs as they are in real life (just the shell not the filament etc), group all the faces of the light bulb and paint the group with the mater...

Hi, the other render output was also edited in Photoshop so we have no idea how it looked like right off the render itself. When you make an emitter, you need to make sure the front faces of the emitter are facing in the direction you which it to shine, no materials to the faces, group them and then...

it is unbias

to get this effect, you have no choice but to use Post Processing (exposure or combinations of the other settings too). The only other way to make it "too" bright is by using the White Env Map and no portals nd eveen maybe set the Env Map power higher.

oh ok. In general, it's impossible to say because it all depend on how many artificial lights you have and the complexity of the model and the render resolution (1024x768 vs 2400x2000). If it's a simple bedroom with one light, just a few minutes render is enough on my old i7-2600 CPU, but models lik...

I forgot to answer one thing, the number of pass, for your model, between 150 to 400

The sun is not as strong at sunrise or sunset but that is not your problem with illumination. I see you have backdrop image outside the windows, they cast shadows, so, the face with the image, edit it in Raylectron Material Editor and select "Does not block direct light". Next, the back face should ...

Looks good anyways, we're all into fireworks right now

no because the env map is just a low resolution map so that shadow you see isn't cast by Raylectron but part of the map, it's in the map image already, for thsi particular map that is. If you switch to Performance mode and rotate around (turn on Follow Camera in the enc map setting) you'll see the s...

the ROF alone will not work as it need the texture folder and the cfg file. You also sent me the Kitchen only so I can't use that. However, by the look of the sun, it looks like it's very low, like late afternoon, almost sunset, so it's notmal that it isn't as bright as it would be at noon. Also, wh...

I'm glad I can help.

First, remove the Portals, no need for them. Second, convert your glass material to Glass because you have them as blue and 50% transparent, that's going to let in less than 50% of the outside light in. This is what I did and rendered it for 30 sec...

v5 is still in the works, much slower now that Michael (the other Michael) is not going to return.

Hi, First, you have only one side of the face set as a portal, it should be on front and back, better yet, group it and set the portal material to the group not the faces and leave the faces as Default material. Even better yet, you no longer need to create portals in Grain Free mode, they are autom...

It's not a good GPU for rendering, only good for games, it only has 768 cores when the minimum is 1500+

I would use the CPU version, grain free and converge much faster than the GPU.

All you have to do is activate it on your new laptop. That is is. If it doesn't work, send me a PM so i can reset it.

I like this one better, great work you do
