Lighting Intensity

[Kristof]

Hi, I am currently using Blender 2.49 with Blendigo 2.2S and Indigo 2.4.4 Beta however I had this issue on the non-beta version as well when I was testing it so I don't think it is a Beta bug.

So, I create a light source from an object (Icosphere, I also tried changing the amount of poly's) and set the material to emit and the environment to emitting objects only. I set the material for the object to light the scene to emit. The initial render looks a bit like the lightsource is too intense so I attempted to adjust the Lumens and when that had no effect whatsoever I then attempted to adjust the gain value below that with no effect still. I then tried adjusting the camera ISO and F-Stop settings with still not effect on the light intensity.

Am I making some mistake here or is there a problem with my Blendigo/Indigo? Any help would be appreciated.

I must however say that Indigo is gorgeous from what I have seen.

Are you using reinhard tonemapping? If so try using camera tone mapping. Reinhard will try and autoexpose the image.

You can play with the camera tone mapping in the Indigo GUI settings while rendering by selecting tonemapping from the dropdown menu to get the right overall exposure. Change the EV settings to make it brighter/darker

If your not using reinhard - then I haven't got a clue

Yep that solved it, thank you.

No matter what film type I select in Blendigo it always defaults to dscs15 in Indigo which isn't a serious problem since I can just change it in Indigo but it is an annoying one, is there any possible solution for this?

Are you talking about my edit when I realized I could adjust the Reinhard settings?
