I have this very large scene that has 109 lights. I'm tweeking a portion of the scene and it would be real handy to be able to turn all the lights (except a few) off to speed rendering times. I don't know of a way to do this and doubt its possible without a script or something.

My problem is that in some of my family pictures, there are lights on in the background or bright windows behind the subject. Is there any way to reduce the brightness of ONLY these extremely bright areas without making the rest of the photo too dark?
I have searched for hours and can't seem to find anything that resembles my scenario, although I'm sure that I'm probably just not looking for the right thing in the right place.
Ive had a look around the forum and done a few searches but have been unable to find any reference to creating the effect of Ultraviolet lights, or black light.
im designing a space in 3d studio max and want to light portions of it in UV. ive no idea how to create this in MAX so i thought i may be able to apply it to the renders in PS.

I have 2 photometroc lights in my scene. I have a simple animation going on and I'm trying to keep the viewport clean while the animation plays. Is there a way to hide the lights (wireframe circles)? Without turning the lights off that is.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been struggling trying to make stage lights, like those that are on the banner of the url below. It looks like the lights themselevs are done with a gradiant effect, I think the same with the cans. If you look closely, there is actually quite a bit of detail; ie: the metal ring around the light, the smoothness of the metal cans, etc.

I have an issue that every time I render a scene with photometric lights and have the exposure control set to Mr. Photographic exposure, outdoor night time, I get flicker. It appears to be an interlacing problem, but looks like the lights are flickering bright and dim. I am rendering as a .jpg sequence.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am modelling a livingroom and I am using Daylight system and mental ray renderer and that all works ok.
But when I want to add standard lights, with ray traced shadows, I can place them as usual in the scene but it doesnt illuminate the scene at all, no matter how high multiplier.. Not in the model nor in the renders.
I also ticked enable hardware shading, enable shadows and enable ambient occlusion.
I am trying to render using the recessed can lights and they light my rendering but the lights themselves don't look line they are emitting light. It looks odd. I have the same problem with some of my 2x4 fixtures where light does show on the floor but the lights themselves don't seem to be on.

Is there any way to force "shaded" mode in Nitrous to use scene lights and not default lights? We are doing tons of previs and when using "realistic mode" all of the grain and such with transparency, etc looks just awful. Shaded mode is SO much cleaner and faster, but under Nitrous it can no longer use scene lights to shade your objects. Under realistic mode you can turn shadows and AO off, but any transparency does the refinement process and never ends up looking totally clean.
Under shaded mode, transparency looks GREAT and is way faster. If there was only a way to enable scene lights instead of default lights it would be just like the old pre-nitrous days.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've enclosed an original picture and my 3d scene. the problems lies in the shadow on both sides of the lamp which is too hard edged. and normally, there is a grid right beneath the cylinder bulb, but when applying that grid in 3ds max the whole scene becomes speckled. must have something to do with the light being blocked by geometry.
how to achieve a soft shadow as shown in the ref pic?
I have a simple scene. Cylinder with Target Photometric light casting toward it. Plane.
the nitrous viewport creates correct soft shadow adjustments as I change the width and height of a rectangular light source. the render does NOT.
