Hi, can anyone help me work out why my renders come out so pale, here is a copy so you can see what i mean. I'm using vray...

thanks

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the advice, i tried adjusting the settings which didn't make too much difference (the overide sun parameters was already unchecked) but at the same time i was poking through other settings and apparently it was the camera settings causing the problems... I've turned physical camera on and the blue hue is gone, and shadows looking normal. However, i still can't get the soft look render thats in the tutorial. This sentence is bothering me...
'Compare to the image without Global Illumination, you can see the objects don't have dark shadow because the objects get light from all around.'
All my renders have dark shadows no matter what combination of options i try, i noticed you said that i would always get these if i am using the SU sun... is this a light i can turn off, im not sure what it refers to?
thanks

Hi,

Im new to the forum, i have come to the conclusion that this is the place to find the answers to my sketchup questions... heres hoping!

I'm fairly new to sketchup and haven't got the hang of materials and rendering yet as there seems to be limited materials in the sketchup library. Having read a few peoples views on the matter i have downloaded vray... and the manual with tutorials.

I started working through the manual but even though i am setting the same settings as in the tutorials i am getting different results when i render to the ones i'm supposed to. In particular, when first turning GI on and turning default and hidden lights of i'm getting an over exposed bluey colured render with strong shadows... which seem to be reversed, ie. light where there should be shadow and shadow where there should be light. When in fact i should have a nice neutral image with very little shadow...

Anybody have any ideas on this, i want to get it right from the start so i don't learn it all wrong, thanks!!
