I had the same issue.

radiance could you please show where to change?
change the AO length parameter in the directlighting kernel settings in the preview configuration
I looked all over but couldn´t find that parameter.

Thanks

aodist is under the Mesh Preview Kernel for directlighting (which is the last button on the upper-right).

Thanks GeoPappas,

I tried it, but it actually darkens (or lightens) the scene more or less, but the blueish color stays.

radiance wrote:I think the issue is that your model is imported way too large and the default configuration without global illumination on for editing (eg directlighting) has it's default AO ray length too small.
If you switch to pathtracing it should render fine, or, for editing or previewing, either import in the correct scale, or change the AO length parameter in the directlighting kernel settings in the preview configuration.

Radiance
It could be a scale problem - not really sure what units you're supposed to use. It's for an animation so I'm using direct lighting, but I think I'll just make do with adjusting the light direction for this project.

Thanks for the help anyway
