and the emitter intensity has to be in w/m2,
for me it worked then.

might have to do with the scale, but as long as i can´t see if my emitter is 1 nm or 1 km wide, i´ll try with w/m2.

thx arch - it was the w/2m. (nt)

just saw in a 2d window, that my imported chairs were about 2 km big,
so my emitters were about 10 km big each.

so, no wonder that my render kept black even with 6500 W...

w/m2 is much better in these times :roll:
