Re: Mia architectural highlights, bug?

Hehe..open the window first? I usually just turn it off and replace the specular highlight with Holger's baSpecular shader. Just turn off diffuse in that shader and you have two specular layers to work with. Just plug it into the "additional color" on the Architectural shader. This gives n

Re: Mia architectural highlights, bug?

Anisotropic uv set to *none* in the arch shader? Can cause weird reflections sometimes. per 2013/2/15 Stephan Hempel > It seems like the infamous burned highlights problem which occurs when > you are lighting with IBL and normal lights. > > When you are using the already mentioned Advanced MIA

Re: Mia architectural highlights, bug?

It seems like the infamous burned highlights problem which occurs when you are lighting with IBL and normal lights. When you are using the already mentioned Advanced MIA material you have to activate "Clamp Maximum for HDR rendering" at the bottom of the Optimization Tab and set to something reaso

Re: Mia architectural highlights, bug?

did a quick test, didn't really help thought. We are using another solution right now which includes the old but wonderful Lume Metal shader :) /stefan On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 9:24 AM, Stefan Andersson wrote: > we have actually 1 point light, the rest are area lights. > > So, mia not compatibl

we have actually 1 point light, the rest are area lights. So, mia not compatible with point lights? /s On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 8:42 AM, Amaan Akram wrote: > do you have any point or distant lights? > > > On 15 February 2013 07:30, Stefan Andersson wrote: > >> So it's been years since I had t

Mia architectural highlights, bug?

So it's been years since I had to use mental ray in production... Now two weeks into the production we are seeing a lot of highlight artifacts in the renders, which doesn't appear if you use some other shader than Mia. A quick google search and it seems that other have this problem too. So, any me
