bjulius21 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 What are some of the best settings to incorporate with the ray trace options to brighten up the scene of an interior rendering? I have will incorporate pendant lights and can lights throughout but there always seems to be dark spots, and those dark spots grow significantly darker when they are printed out. I am just looking for some tips or guidance on how I can brighten things up for a quick ray trace. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 have you tried PBR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjulius21 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am not familiar with PBR, other than the beer. Can you further explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It's a rendering technique that was introduced in X10. Physically-Based Rendering Technique or PBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjulius21 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes, I am familiar with that setting. My main concern is what I can do or how I can brighten up a room through a ray trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 You can use the "Add Lights" tool to add additional light sources to your image. Once you have added an additional source you can control it's properties in the "Light Specification" DBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search the forum for goodies- there is a huge thread that goes back a ways with tons of information on renderings.You find two threads with the search- oldest one is more about ray trace, newer one PBR goodies is about PBR and has some issues folks ran into with RT once PBR was offered. Note that the many (most) have switched to PBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 In addition to adding extra lights sources, have you turned on Photo Mapping (select the "Advanced" tab in the Ray-Trace dialog box)? Also, try adding sunlight and manipulate it's intensity in the "lighting " tab in the RT DBX. Also, experiment with the Ambient Occlusion settings in the Lighting tab.
