Hi!
Does anyone knows how to light the curtains under AO kernel?
As shown in the pictures below, the material settings of curtain material is ok for PT kernel... So I was wondering if it is also possible in AO kernel...

Hi Lucio,
how is made the curtain material?
Do you have a diffuse material with transmission or with emission or with both or what else?

Ciao Beppe!
As you know, I have only transmission channel... in which I put, as always, some texture depending on curtain's material, as canvas, lace and so on...
Now, because of the good output of AO kernel, I'm a little bit upset for the 'glow' I can't reach as well as PT kernel (of course)...
That's why I wrote this post... Maybe someone has the solution, that I know isn't perfect but better than mine, for AO kernel.
I'll call you later.
Hug you

Hi Lucio,
since DL AO doesn't have GI, is difficult to obtain the same result than PT.
You could try to fake it by adding a slightly emission node to the curtain or a much powerful one to the glass in order to have more burning effect from the window
Another solution could be to add a scattering medium node if the curtain has a volume
