Hi Vince,
I would like to help you, this also affects me and the #include file I have
written.
I would like to know what you did with the backgound. Is it a skysphere with
a picture on it? Because if that is so, this affects the colours of the
bricks and the amount of light.
The original "HDI" code containt a skysphere like this:
sky_sphere {
pigment {
gradient -y
color_map {
[ 0.500000 rgb 1.25 ]
[ 1.000000 rgb <0.55, 0.77, 1.1> ]
}
}
As you can see the first colour has a value higher than 1. This means that
it (sort of) radiates light. The same goes for the second colour (blue-ish).
This also has a (just one this time) value higher than 1.
If you use values <=1 the render will be considerably darker. If you used a
picture on a skysphere the colours are per definition smaller than 1 so the
render will be darker.
The only way to change this is to add one or more lights.
Try to use area lights; these will give you a soft shadow. Or, if you don't
want shadows at all, use shadowless lights.
I have lowered the refection of the colours myself and if you download the
radiosity files now you will get less refection and a better rubber colour
:-)
Hope this helps.
Jeroen

| Hi again, I'm still working on a good way to use hdri with MLCad pictures. And I found out that grey is a "bad" color. Pictures with grey models are always too dark. I can only fix this if I place additional light sources. I don't know the reason (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
