Arnold renderer - viewport extremely overexposed vs. the rendering

[patrik_martin]

Hi,

I have been playing around with Arnold render and like what I see for the final results. However, one thing that bugs me quite a bit is the difference in exposure between the perspective viewport and the rendering of the same view when viewport is set to "High Quality". I tend to like to use the "high quality" for a hint of how the lights are going to look later for rendering.

The viewport is extremely overexposed vs. the rendering. For example:

I have been testing to adjust the exposure controls but I seem to always have a big gap between the viewport and the rendering and I have not been able to find anything when searching... maybe I use the wrong terminology?

Any ideas of how to solve this?

Press D in the camera viewport

Using Arnold area light, I get a simular expression.

Remember to download the latest Arnold build, so you dont sit on an older version which does not support this.

Ah, interesting I will check to see what updates are available out there.

Yes, after updating Arnold the issue was solved. I should have thought about this. Thanks!
