how the heck are you getting such clean results for an hour on the interiors?!

[Neil Evans]

The last ones took two hours. I use emitters at all the windows, skydome and I also add a sneaky emitter or two just below the ceiling to throw a bit more light into the scene. This seems to help get rid of the noise. They are also rendered on dual opteron 285's which helps.

Can you post a wire to help illustrate your lighting setup?

[Neil Evans]

sure but it is pretty simple really. I just put a plane at each window with an invisible emitter on them. Then copy one of the emitters so it just underneath ceiling in the rooms pointing down. Make sure it is not too big or too close to the walls or it will wash onto them and look naff..

I can share the emitter mxm if you like but it is nothing special.

[JCAddy]

Is it just a basic emitter or did you map an mxi onto those planes?

[Neil Evans]

Just a basic emitter..
