Hi,
I'm having an issue where by rendering doesn't seem to be working correctly when using the virtual visit. When rendering with aerial view the light levels appear to be calculated correctly but when I switch to virtual visit the image appears to be rendered in much lower quality. I'm using yafaray on best at 11am in both samples.
aerial view:
Virtual visit:
I'd use aerial view but I need that exact angle shown in the virtual visit to update some renders without re-doing the entire set (which would be very time-consuming!)
any suggestions? I'm sure when I did the original renders last year I was using virtual visit and they rendered as expected.
Possible solutions:
- change time of day, location on globe, and orientation of compass so that sun is (exactly) above the scene
- add (strong) lights in/above the rooms
I haven't changed any rendering or lighting settings since last year though, only a few models and wall colours etc. The first two images were rendered today with exact same settings, the only difference being virtual visit vs aerial view. Why would I need to change lighting and compass etc now, have some changes been made that would be causing this?
sorry, I've worked out what the issue is. Using the default rendering when in virtual visit "sky lighting" isn't used however if I use the photo rendering plugin I can explicitly enable it via the tick box and the render is produced as expected. The only issue being the plugin is slower to render so I need to try and match settings. Is this intentional behavior?
