emitters + skylight?

Postby meschoyez » Thu Oct 25, 2007 9:57 pm

Newbie question:
Can i use area lights (emitter) with skylight at the same time?
When i set emitters and skylight the emitters seem to be ignored.

thx

hey,

the average luminance of the skylight is 7000-9000 lumen.
an emitter will have very small amounts.

the alpha9 exporter allows for setting a gain on the sky so you can make it 1000 times less for example,
and then use mesh emitters.

hopefully alpha9 and RC3 will be here sunday ;-)
