Picture 1.15 version much brighter.

Don't you mean 2.15?

That has nothing to do with Blender. The engine changes need to be adressed in the development release thread of the standalone version. Also, the speed differs depending on scene setup ... some scenes have reported to render faster, others slower if I remember right.

Yes 2.15 increase the exposure by 40%.

Not really. With this release we increased the exposure by about 40%, to make the texture environment exactly match the rendering at the normalized environment. If you then switch to the daylight environment you will see that the rendering is overexposed, because the daylight is way too bright compared to the texture environment. This ratio is pretty much just arbitrary. With next version we plan to correct that, i.e. the daylight system will be darker with the same power setting as before.

And next release the daylight exposure is changing again.

JimStar is their an easy way to fix my exposure on my previously created scenes in blender?

You can use the Blender python scripting for that. Just change all the exposure values:

Code: Select all

newExposure = oldExposure / (oldFStop * oldFStop) * oldISO * 0.1 * 118 / 255;

Great!!! Thank you, JimStar!

Thanks for the script.

I confirm that autofocus doesn't work unless you select an object or you mention a distance which is obvious but but in my case when creating a new scene or loading a previous one, autofocus was set to active and the distance was equal to 0 so I got a uniform black or white image, I had to investigate to find that problem, so be careful if you have a similar behavior.

It's the engine bug. Will be fixed in next engine version.
As a quick workaround - just set the "Distance" to any value greater than "0", and autofocus will work.
