Spec Intensity goes wild

Hi i'm facing an issue wich happens in Arnold 4 (alSurface) and 5 (aiStandardsurface)

If i'm creating a shader with metal intensity 1 and a plain directional light with intensity of 1 it results in specular values of upto 500! This value decreases by increasing the radius/angle of the light - in my simple example i had to use an angle of 60 to get the spec values to something around 1.

If i use a skydomelight the specular intensity values matches the intensity of the light. Wich is what i would expect.

Why is that?

What can i do to tame the the spec intensity ? Clamping would be my last option.

thanks for any input

Yah. If feel same. Render setting clamping option would be better.

This is because it's relative to the solid angle of the light. A skydome will distribute the values over the whole hemisphere whilst a directional light will contain it within it's angular value.

If you'd capture the value of the sun on a reflective sphere, you'd see exactly the same behaviour.

To work around this you can do multiple things:

- Create a rougher material, pretty much everything in real life has imperfections
- Create a less reflective material, most materials are not nearly as reflective as you'd think in real life - even metals.
- Increase the solidangle of the light

You should avoid clamping at all costs in this situation.
