Hello all, *(interior) So in an effort to decrease rendering time I have swapped podium "omni" lights with light powered textures. often 12-20 strength. If placed correctly these can cut your rendering time in half compared with omni lights. It is not a perfect solution but an excellent tool in a pinch. I post this because after spending a lot of time searching I didn't find this online anywhere. I don't know if I'm just behind everyone else and my search skills are terrible but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this. Opinions? AB __________________ AB.

You mean LEMs - Light Emitting Materials. I prefer these to omnis actually, but you can't use them in all situations. __________________ That which does not kill us makes us stronger -Friedrich Nietzsche

Personally, I like LEM better. You often need less light sources, and they make great soft light/shadows! __________________ Podium Tech. Support

Did you use high intensity? It is known to produce grain. QMC will not reduce grain, it will make more grain. __________________ Podium Tech. Support
