An other technique (that I used earlier) is to:

- Push the screen surface slight inwards behind the edge of the TV rim and,
- place a rectangular emitter at the base of the rim cavity shooting upwards
- create a liner around the emiter periphery and give it a black diffuse color to prevent the inside of the rim from glowing.

Can you send some daytime rendering of TV with physical sky?

[hyltom]

I'm using exactly the same technics than Thomas. As you can see Tom, in my sample it's also working with a physical sky.

It is possible as Hyltom said, although I don't remember what a TV looks like outside in the middle of the scorching sun.

If you take a real TV outside, you probably can't see a thing.
Maybe not even with sunglasses

I know you will laugh at this now but I could solve it this way.
Yours is wonderful and better than this guys. Congratulations once again!


The above tech has a viewing angle disadvantage...
But it also works pretty good under skylight
Thank you all for sharing knowledge once again.
Thank you all for being here keeping this soul alive.

..so to make it even more real, i'd place a glassurface in front of that loomy surface..so in bright light you'd get reflections on that..like on a real tv..is this possible_?

No need for glass at all... you get plenty reflections as is.

Here is the TV screen at daytime... out in the boonies...

Thank you 8etty!
You see, there's an overexpose problem under daylight with your trick Thomas.
On the other hand, I'm able to master mine better.
Because, for the night shot, the emitter is just 30 Watts and for the day shot it's 530 Watts.
I think I can even place a thin glass infront of my screen as 8etty said.

Nice reflections but it must not be like that you know

Tom, your technique is quite interesting and clever... but is also intricate.
Are you using 576 surfaces ? Do you adjust their UVs one by one ?

One comment: Is the color of your TV a little bright?
See, I am not sure a real TV will have as vivid images under the sun... so maybe we should check this one day

real plasma or LCD tvs have this kind of very bright image... even under the sun..

hehe....new plasmas can
btw, they are not seperate mesh, let me explain:
create a plane 1 x 576 segment
edit from side, pick odd points and drag to have a zig-zag
remove faces looking upward...
map this single mesh with planar UV at once!
AND PLUSS+++++
I have adjustable-color (uv roughness of plastic affects it)
I have adjustable-gamma (emitter Z-position affects it)
So, I wanted it to be vivid... this is attractive!
