This render with the sun. I think this light quite nice and there is no excessive blue. Isn't true?



As you can see - in real photo shows a bluish glow.

of course blue is not bad. It's just a matter of choice.In my opinion renders must give true colors of objects. You can do it while post work. But direct light AO mode is not a realistic mode like PT or PMC and environment illuminates all interior scene like exterior.Feels like there is no wall or ceiling. My goal is just get fast renders with a little more realism.

Not if you increase the AO Distance to greater than the size of your room.

there must be a problem with my AO settings
I cannot avoid too dark "shadows" in the corners, even when I lower the "AO distance" (at too low values all colors looses their hue)
Hope that someone's suggest could be helpful

Cheers, Paolo

Hi wisemanxxx, sorry for the delay.
I was made a test for post my "bugs" (I didn't save none of my old tests) but now, with the new realease of Octane for Max the DLin AO mode seems to work.
Before this new test by changing the "AO distance" the render became out from totally washed out to a middle gray, now at high value of "distance" the scene become totally black.
I've posted a test...ok, now I can start to tweaking with AO+Fake Sun

Thanks a lot wisemanxxx, I'm sure that I'll need soon your help!

Cheers, paolo

A real photo shows blue if and only if its white balance is set to a warmer color. Sadly Octane doesn't have white balance.

render time 12 min. 1xgtx680 4gb

I used a mesh light outside window. 5 cm radius sphere with blackbody emission for simulating sun.
Environment is 255 255 255 white color only.

AO distance is 3

A disk ought to be enough. Quite a good render
