Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi. This is my first post. Sorry for my english.
I have a big problem with render/lighting small interiors (with one small window eg.),
example of the link:
Small interiors are often to dark, or from the bright areas.
scene: http://hotfile.com/dl/101050233/fa109dd ... l.rar.html
how to find solve??
Please help me

The first thing I noticed is: You are using a small focal length on you camera which makes the vignetting effect stronger -- turn on de-vignetting in the simulens settings to 100% and that will even the brightness out a bit right away.

Here's a quick render of some modifications I made to your Maxwell file in Studio -- mostly I adjusted exposure and materials related settings. Hopefully this is a bit closer to what you were shooting for lighting/exposure wise.

I have no idea why you need such strong emitters -- I checked your scale and everything is properly scaled... it could be an emitter geometry issue but I didn't check that.

Best,
Jason.

actually you can tweak nearly everything when using multilight...

try vignetting strentgh and burn value... by lowering the burn value you can get more light into the room withouth literally burning the window and near objects...

cheers

Hi, thank you all for your help
Here's a news renders with different light. i Corrected the exposures.
1. Dwo emitters

Scene studio

All renders are pale, without contrast

To be fair your materials design and choices don't allow for alot of contrast -- but this is problem that can be easily fixed in post (in Photoshop or similar).

If you want to get better contrast, and generally more interesting raw renders from Maxwell you should do some work on your materials... for more information you can watch some of my videos free on the Maxwell THINK! site: http://think.maxwellrender.com/first10s ... egoryFS=21

Best,
Jason.

This is all good advice. I would also try warming up the room a bit by adding window dressing and some "top layer" on the counters. Maybe some food. Some dishes. Some flowers.

It's amazing what a difference that makes.

Cosmasad thank you.
I would like to focus on lighting, how to get the lighting like this http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... it=shen.de??? Only plane(1polygon) emitters without envitonment(faster rendering), or emitters plus environment(too long)... That is the Question, hmm
