Ive been using the Maxwell Render for sketch up and it works in morning and evening renders. The only difficult part if the night renders. Could you help me and the community with a night render demo or discussion

Hello Harbinger,

Which is basically the problem you are getting with emitters in nighttime renders?

Could it be just a camera exposure response? Keep in mind that while outdoors photography uses certain camera settings (usually ISO 100 and Shutter 500, or so), indoor photography needs different settings, with more sensitive film and slower exposure speeds (try around ISO 100 and Shutter 50).

Try values like those and let us know if you manage to get a better indoor photography.

If the problem persists, please post a sample render here to let us see.

Greetings

Dario Lanza
