mtldesigns Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Why do my toilets, no matter the scenario (except at night) always glow? I know its a thrown to some, but... Any idea on how to fix? I have moved the sunlight from different directions, always a roof or foundation in place, but still a glow. All my plans this occurs.. I have these as matte too..

VHampton Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 question... what's the material for the symbol? Is it porcelain? (see below) Not emissive. What happens if you use another toilet symbol? Do they all glow like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHampton Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Interesting. There's no apparent property setting which would create a mysterious glow. What happens if the porcelain gets changed to another material? Like a color perhaps? Example... the base board and shelving above are fine. Can the toilet take on those properties as a test.

rgardner Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Is part of the symbol sticking into the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually never seen this happen, which symbol is this , or it is all of them? if so post a simple 20'x20' box house showing the Issue , so we can all have a "play" and try and figure it out , maybe a Template setting or ? as I haven't seen a Toilet glow like you put a rope light behind it M.

There is a room on the other side of this wall too, not an exterior wall. 53 minutes ago, VHampton said: What happens if the porcelain gets changed to another material?

DBCooper Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 One of these maybe? https://www.amazon.com/Ailun-Activated-Nightlight-Decorating-Combination/dp/B06XR9YC24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLayDesign Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Strange. The only way I could replicate your issue was to build a room behind the toilet add a window and have the light from the sun hit the back wall directly where the toilet is. Try turning off the sun, or rotating the direction of the sun. With Window in room behind: Without Window in room behind: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quickie plan with two toilets is attached. You can see the sun is coming form the opposite wall that where the glow is shown on toilet 2.. whereas toilet 1, on an outside wall, has no glow. 11 hours ago, DBCooper said: One of these maybe?

DeLayDesign Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Seems like an issue for sure - turning off the sun makes the glow go away in the second scenario... If you want/ need the sun on, here is my setup for rendering that I think can help. Your rendering global illumination daytime backdrop intensity is really high for an interior view. (10,000). There is no real need for it to be this high. Try this on your actual model instead and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this 10000 when at one time the walls were grey, just seemed real dark. Now that they are am off white, I can adjust like what you mentioned. Stay tuned.
