Color bleeding

Ivan_m · May 25th, 2008

I have a problem with mental ray. When I render my building I get nasty places with color bleeding. I've tried with photon base shader in the photon slot of the material, but it didn't work. Any suggestions? I've used max 2008. Any suggestions?

Can you post a render? It would help with the answer.

And I'm sure Brian Bradley knows! He's a Mental Ray guru!

Thanks for the replay. I'll post a image with the problem as sooner as I can.

In this one you may see the color bleeding and the reason - the grass:

In this one the grass is removed:

The reason I don't like using MR is exactly because of the color bleed it creates. :/

colour bleed can be controled either by droping the "Diffuse Level" or using the material over-ride for FG calculation and the proper material for the frozen FG, final render.

With max2009 you have the option now for objects not to react to FG.

Hi Ivan,

Both Justin and Jeff have given enough info to get
colour bleed to work how you want.
To be honest mental Ray works as it should when it
comes to colour bleed. If you fed the same light energy
and colour saturation into a 'real world' set up, then the
results would be pretty much the same. The trick is to
understand how colour is transfered between surfaces
by the transport of light energy, and then understand
the toolset in MR that allows you to control that process.

Regards
Bri

One thing to remember is that in real life grass is not a flat plane. It is thousands of blades at thousands of angles and slightly transparent so not all the light is thrown back up onto the surrounding objects. Like it was mentioned, reduce the diffuse colour to reduce the amount of green bounce.

Thank for the help and for the attention.

It helped me a lot.
About the grass - in the final render I will use a displace map for sure.
