Raylectron render

Post by London »

Hello,
I am new to Raylectron. I am using a demo version to see if it works for me. I tried to render a sketchup design yesterday and it doesn't look good at all. I rendered a similar design few days ago and it looked better slthough still on the dark side. I added a dining room to the previous design, used the ceiling lights as light emmiters as I did before but it makes the render look unclear and green. Also the furniture in the sittingroom are not clearly visible. I have attached photos of both renderings. Pease help.

Well I think your camera position is way out and are 2 totally different camera positions. Choose your camera position in SU then load into Raylectron. If you have changed the position, make sure you are not loading a prior position, so say "exept for camera position" as Raylectron will promp a list on starting to render.
And the power of those particular lamps are just of to higher value, so reduce the value. Hope I have understood your questions

Cheers

Thank you. I will try to do as you suggested. It is tricky to do it when you are just starting.
Fingers crossed it works :D

and the green, I think you have a material set as an emitter, unknowingly.

and speaking of camera, you can place your camera outside and use section cuts.

I used to do the same thing with lamps or emitters, I got around it by editing the material you mean to be am emitter in SU mayerials, say make an emitter what ever colour and call it "lamps over table" or "Lamp sitting area" so all things starting with" lamp" will be made an emitter. Its easy to find in "materials"
