problem of lights

dannagiusy64

I have just bought this product.

https://www.daz3d.com/village-bedroom

The rendering in both iray and 3delight is all black. Can someone help me?

Thank you

dannagiusy64

you see it like that

How does it look in 3Delight, which is the egine it was made for? In Iray it may take some work, a lot of that artist's work used custom sahdrs which won't auto-convert to Iray, and you would need to add some lights too.

it thus appears in both iray and 3delight. I do not understand

Exactly, including the noise? Or just dark in both?

I just loaded Bedroom_Advanced and hit render, it is working in 3Delight looking through the Default Camera, albeit with a conspicuous lack of sahdows. In Iray, with the Environment Mode set to Scene Only it is very dark and I suspect would work poorly even with Tone mapping adjusted given the palcement of the lights, though it does work with Dome enabled. Here is the 3delight render I get:

 So it's horrible. I restarted Daz and it also came to me like that. I insist with iray and I try to put lights to create a suffused environment. I do not know if there is an additional component for the lights

A quickie in Iray (well, relatively - twenty minutes to reach 76% complete on my 750Ti) - I added a 5000 Lumen Distant Light shinging in through the window and two 3000 lumen, 4000K point lights with the shape set to a 5cm sphere aligned with the lanterns (Align pane, select first the lantern the the point light and choose centre for all axes, then adjust) - Scene only, Tone Mapping was set to Exposure 7 - oh, and I turned the Ceiling prop back on.

It would have been faster with some additional lights (perhaps ghost lights - planes with emissive shaders and a very low Cutout Opacity) then Tone Mapping adjusted to keep the desired balance of light and shade.

Thank you. I still have to understand a lot about the daz3D program ...
