Ground plane overexposed when using VRAY sun

parker2740 · May 13th, 2008

How do I light the ground plane in a scene while using VRAY Sun. I use a VRAY camera and the exposure for everything is right but the ground is blown out. I want the shadows on the ground plane so I cant exclude it from the sun.

Give the ground plane a v-ray material and add a v-ray color map to the diffuse slot. Set the colour you want and then decrease the multiplier to say 0.5 and re-render. Tweak the multiplier until you get a good exposure.

Hope this helps

Actually I am using a VRAY BMPfilter which seems to be working. Thanks for the help though it was a good start
