Indigo Renderer Forum

I have a problem with smooth shading in Blendigo with one object.

The scene is from evermotion Archinteriors vol. 40 and with other exporters I don't have this problem.

Hope someone can help me to fix this problem because I would like to practice a little bit Blendigo and want to have a good result similar to the vray render.

Maybe someone can give some tips too, how I can get more light through the windows and how I have to set up the floor material for the shadows of the walls.

Try the Edge Split modifier on your table.

Yes absolutely! Lots of evermotion models don't really work without that one...

I would suggest that you render with a normal camera exposure then tweak the image's colour gamma in post; or you may edit all textures gamma's.

They are curving the light dynamics with gamma in their result, NOT stretching the dynamic range, as tweaking exposure does.

Thanks for your tips, I will post my results here.

Here is my final render, comments are welcome.

Wow, pretty close! Theres a magenta tint to some of the whites though, which should be easy to fix in PS.

nice vasco! You can render that in alpha mode so you have transparency of glass and no HDRI background, so you can postpro the trees into the image.

The original image had different lighting from the windows right, maybe the HDRI was rotated?

The scene was a .max file and prepared for vray, the lighting there was done by plane lights. The trees behind the windows where mapped on a cylindrical mesh. But since this sort of lighting isn't possible in Indigo I used a HDRI map. Maybe it is possible to use sunlight but I wanted to make the render look as much as possible like the vray one.

It's not?

Not that I know.

This is quite old, but take a look here:

Here is another scene that I imported into Blendigo. I had to change the chairs on the left because they were broken by exporting from 3ds max.

Comments are welcome.

Nice! I guess the different tone is intentional?

Very nice!!

I like your chairs much better
