I've been using it 3 weeks now. Its very fast for rendering interiors. But this comes with years of input from beta testers so its no surprise. Now I am testing to see if it can do other renders FAST (cars, exteriors, animation). I haven't had much success. Maybe the old timers can get good results ...

Hopefully in the meantime is this tool absolutely critcal for thhis process???

Guys... check the wiki.. I wrote a tutorial about using SG_CCTools with Kray...

thanks Jure I just now saw this as well. :oops: I just finished outputting some material for a client (in LW) so I am hoping that I will have the afternoon free to try my hand at these tuts... I reckon it's just a ...

Good question I have seen this pop up and I am curious about this as well. Also, is this a windows only based tool???

Cheers

Hey Matt,

Good to see you kicking about.

I got a seat of Kray for Christmas. At the time LW was Imo lacking in the area of GI and F-Prime which had become our main rendering workhorse was significantly crippled due to the changes in architechture. At that time Kray was looking really good it was ...

Ah now the show begins thanks!!

Turn luminosity mode on quality tab to indirect for start... It does also look like leaking light in the corners. Please post your precomputed only render too...

Those presets are not optimal anymore. We will update them in one of the future OB's.

Things you may want to change:
Photons tab ...

Ahhhhh ok, thanks nothing like being a newbie again!:oops: I'll have a go at these settings and see where I end up. I can't thank you enough for the helpful advice.

Cheers mate

Some nodes work indeed yes, but many still don't.


Soon one whole OB will be dedicated solely to node bugfixes. We plan to make full compatibility with nodes then. Untill then I advise you to use classic surfacing methods.

Yeah, the nodes in LW are also still a work in progress lots of power ...

9.3.1?? No worries then. Thanks. To ad to this, I did finally get it to reload and despite the prompts it is rendering now as expected. Rather wierd. I am going to try to retro fit this to one of my scenes. So yes, it does appear to be working in 9.5 Open Beta. Also by studying the scene, it appears ...

I tried this scene I am on the 9.5 ob UB Mac and I got a prompt for SC_CCfilter and the Sunsky.plugin. The scene loaded but when I went to render it promptly crashed Lightwave....

Unfortunately, there are a lot of settings to keep up with and the manual is not really that insightful. it also appears that quality output is the personal domain of a select few. Some of my questions have gone unanswered, no biggie but I have noticed that others are getting vague answers when more ...

Nevermind, I found it on the Wikipedia page.

Cheers

I am trying to adjust my octree depth as reccommended by the renderer (Kray) but when I go to adjust my settings the octree depth is greyed out. Any idea whay I can't adjust this setting???

Indeed! I would like to see some settings. I am having some issues setting up some scenes It owuld be interesting to see some other settings to compare. I work best by using the "reverse engineering" approach. So any settings or scenes to annylize would be great....
