Arnold light

HI

 

I´m First time Arnold user. Hope somebody could help me with this.

 

Adding more Arnold light or changing intensity don´t do anything. Keep on getting same result?

 

I´m confused.

 

Thanks.

Mikko

Your lamps may be too weak, sit too far away, and thus does not realy contribute to the lightning.

Upload a teapot on a plane and some lights to the thread and Ill take a look at it and help you fix the workflow issue.

Don't use the environment color to add skylight.
Use an arnold Skydome light.

 

And increase the power of the lamp you use till it starts to illuminate your scene like in the video I made here, correcting the set, so it plays nice.

Depending on your scene scale you may need to use large numbers, or very small numbers.

Forgot to mention, dehook "Normailze" energy" If you for some reason work in an obscure unit set/scale. This way you can keep the values lower, if you dont like big numbers.
