Hi all

I am preparing my files for an animation following Vlado's tutorial. problem is when I render using LC saved from file with DR I get these darker buckets can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Thank for your help

Have you checked that all of the systems being used for DR can access the saved Pre-Calcs?

everything seems fine for that i'm using UNC path to my texture server T:\max8 stuff\Lightmaps\cam1.vrmap

I just received my copy of Gnomon's interior GI DVD. I hope this is gonna help me out.

You can not use the T:\... you must use the full UNC like this:

\\192.168.252.184\servername\max8 stuff\Lightmaps\cam1.vrmap

It appears that you're using Bucket mode in the Irradiance map rather than Single Frame mode. With Bucket mode you get variations because it calculates a final rendered bucket independent of another and doesn't borrow or use the information from adjacent buckets.
