v.97c - 97d, day and night

<< < (2/2)

lynn22:
Thank you Steve and VBSmiles, I found the cause of the difference.

When 97c renders in Antialiased mode vs. non-Antialiased, it brightens the ambiant setting.
V97d does not do that.

In both the above pictures Settings > Lighting > Project : Global = 1, Ambient = 0.300

to get the same "clarity" in 97d Antialiased mode as in 97c Antialiased mode the setting is : Project : Global = 1, Ambient = 1

Personally, I prefer 97c as Scene mode shows the colors far closer to the final render then 97d where in Scene mode the colors are "washed out" vs. render unless you keep switching Settings > Lighting settings between work and render. ;)

Steve:
Yes there was a bug in v0.97c that brightened things too much.  I have a suggestion.  In general it's better to add more light rather than pump up the ambient factor to 1.0.  Shadows tend to become washed out when you increase the ambient factor and you can loose overall contrast especially in lighter areas.

lynn22:
Thank you for the suggestion Steve. There will be more lights but none of these will cast shadows.
I was just testing the strenght of the one light that will cast shadows.

Other lights will be to light up individual objects in the scene and should contribute to the overall "clarity" ;)
