With only a few necessary corrections (see p.general) this is a first 
brutish render of the test scene provided by LanuHum. Added basic 
radiosity too.

Increasing the radiosity recursion_limit will do the scene good.

Also, do weed out the over-the-top reflections.

Here's my first result after getting the worst stuff sorted out (using 
UberPOV of course).

Obviously there's something wrong with the water, the door has too much 
reflection, and the aspect ratio doesn't match, so I'll need a bit more 
work.

The door, too, has the textures wrong; probably the same for the folding 
chairs, but I haven't yet figured out the proper assignment of materials 
for those.

I think in both "folding_chair_object.inc" and 
"folding_chair_002_object.inc" the textures need to be shuffled as follows:

is:               ->  should be:
metal_black_tex   ->  metal_painted_tex
chrome_matt_tex   ->  metal_black_tex
plastic_black_tex ->  chrome_matt_tex
metal_painted_tex ->  plastic_black_tex


presuming that the frame is supposed to be chrome, the feet are supposed 
to be plastic, the joints are supposed to be metal, and the seat & 
backrest are supposed to be painted.

Same as for the windows: textures have been switched, making the door 
panels chrome and the handles/pivots glass ;-)

No, no! recursion_limit should not be too high. In the present case a 
value of 3 works well.

Actually that was the problem with the mirror, too.

Ah, well - that's a bit extreme :-)

For most indoor scenes, recursion_limit 3 should be enough, maybe 4 if 
you think the scene renders too fast :-P

Well, I am not sure about that one (although that is a solution). I 
loaded the mirror into Poseray and had the impression that the geometry 
was mirrored, but I might be wrong there.

Last test for today.

I brought all the reflections down to similar levels (have to be tweaked 
later on of course) and switched the textures in a number of objects.

More tomorrow.

Correct mirror.

Use photons.

> Photons and radiosity are compatible?

Yes.

Make sure though that all the windows are using "photons{pass_through}", 
and that all surfaces you want to generate caustics are using 
"photons{target on reflection on refraction on}".

In the global settings photons block, you'll also need to set 
adc_bailout to a very low value. I'm currently using 1/100000 (1e-5).


> How to improve contrast?

The original colors were probably intended to be in sRGB space, so try 
replacing all "rgb" with "srgb" (and also all "rgbf" with "srgbf", 
"rgbt" with "srgbt", and "rgbft" with "srgbft").

This will reduce the brightness of many materials, thereby reducing the 
effect of radiosity. As a consequence, areas in shadow will experience 
not only an absolute reduction in brightness, but more importantly also 
a reduction in brightness relative to areas in bright light. (As areas 
in bright light will also get a bit darker, you may want to increase the 
light source's brightness to compensate.)

Yes, I added. :(
But, It is a lot of big windows, unless it shouldn't be lighter in the room?

Further down the line, UberPOV gives me this.

Which reminds me that I still have to make blurred reflections work 
properly with photons.

Does UberPov also support blurred transmission through transparent objects?
If not now, it could be on the to do list.

In Real Life, the eyes adapt themselves to the shadowy parts of a room 
and, without you being aware of it, the lighter parts are then overexposed.

In photography as in ray-tracing, you need to find the balance between 
the two extremes. Adding a light is possible but a feeble solution imho 
and not really convincing. If you really want the shadows cleared more, 
increase recursion_limit to 4 or 5.

Thanks!

clipka, I noticed that in your work light on a floor in the room differs from
light on a floor in a mirror. It is correct?

I'm perfectly sure there is no such difference. It does differ from your 
results, but that's because I adjusted the light source position to 
better match the images produced with other renderers.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the image must be 
uploaded to i.umgur.com to be visible directly on that page.

I actually don't care whether that's necessary or not - if you intend to 
show it or otherwise reference it on that page, I'd like you to 
reference a copy located on some server related to that page anyway. 
Referencing the copy stored on the povray news server comes with the 
risk that some day the link might end up dead.

So yes, you do have my kind permission to upload the image to 
i.imgur.com for this purpose.

Certainly.

I'm using the following statements for the vases:


#declare brown_shapes_finish = finish {
     specular 0.653
     roughness 0.01
     diffuse  0.815
     conserve_energy
     reflection {
         <1,1,1> * 0.6
         fresnel on
     }
}
...
#declare brown_shapes_tex =
texture {pigment {color srgbf <0.3959,0.1713,0.1713,1.0>} 
finish{brown_shapes_finish}}
...
#include "vase1_object.inc"

I am far from done, so no caustics or other more serious material 
details, neither is the water or the glass sculpture visited here.

I changed the light source to a CIE.inc blackbody of 6200 kelvin and 
doubled the luminosity; I added micro-normals to plaster and tiles. Not 
yet UberPOV but that should come soon too.

Thomas, You will provide me the picture for display on our site?
You will work over test? There will be caustics?

Yes indeed. I cannot work as fast as Christoph, especially caustics are 
unfamiliar to me, but I shall try my best. You are free to use the 
images of course.

The glossyness depends on the finish, in this case brown_shapes_finish.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you saying that the glass is 
too glossy, or that the glass isn't glossy enough?


Note that I didn't attempt to reproduce the Lux render; the render 
results are so different between all the various renderers anyway that I 
didn't bother.

I don't speak about Luxrender
I say that I saw your vase glossy, but opaque as dark porcelain
I adjusted the vase with the rgb parameter, not rgbf
Other result turned out absolutely, and, I didn't find the reason

Still, to me the overall light levels of the shadowed parts seems 
somewhat too low (but this might be a question of my system's gamma - 
currently 2.0)... and there are still some bright artifact dots along 
the upper edges of the walls. What radiosity settings did you use?

I agree about the light levels but I don't know how to compensate that 
other than by an additional light (I don't like) or by a stronger light 
maybe (I shall try). However, I personally like this and my impression 
is that this is a /natural/ situation. Comments welcome.

The bright dots are still a problem indeed. They are also present in 
Christoph's image. I wonder if this is not light leaking along mesh 
edges.... Comments welcome.

presently, radiosity settings are:

   radiosity {
       pretrace_start   0.08
       pretrace_end     0.004
       count            500, 1000
       nearest_count    10, 5
       error_bound      1
       recursion_limit  4
       low_error_factor 0.3
       gray_threshold   0.0
       minimum_reuse    0.015
       maximum_reuse    0.1		
       brightness       1
       adc_bailout      1/100000
       normal           on
       media            off
       always_sample    off
       //max_sample     1.0
   }

I think the shadowed parts do look perfectly right.

It is light leaking and it gets even worse when using higher quality 
(i.e. lower error_bound) settings. I guess the only solution is to 
remodel the room and give the walls and the ceiling some real thickness, 
thats what I did. As with CSG where it is a good idea to let walls and 
ceiling overlap.

When you add no_radiosity to all window/door glasses you'll get away 
with 2 recursions and faster render speed - without any visual impact.
And I'm not sure about this low adc_bailout within the radiosity block, 
if such low value is needed shouldn't it go into the global settings 
block itself - to keep the photons visible?
Maybe Christoph can shed some light on this.

Just for a quick test I switched off the normals here. I doubled again 
the luminosity and now the shadowy parts come out better.

I wonder if the leaking along the edges cannot be remedied by better 
meshes. The present ones are of very low resolution (a pillar face is 
just two triangles for instance). That might give problems. I am going 
to have the walls through Silo and process them a bit.
