Time now to work at refining the Irradiance mapping solution that we…have created so far.…As you can see from the render left from our previous video, we have at this…moment in time a very blotchy solution-- indeed, really doesn't work for us a final…production quality solution.…One thing we can do to start improving matters here is to really give our GI…system a helping hand.…We can do this by enabling our currently disabled V-Ray Plane Light.…So let's come up to our Tools menu. Let's come down to our V-Ray Light Lister.…
And we first of all want to put a check in the On box, make certain that, that is enabled.…And then we want to come to this Skylight dropdown. We just want to come in here…and set this to None.…This option will basically give our GI systems a point of focus. They will…give it a way of pulling color and illumination information from our outdoor environment.…In fact, again, if we just close our Light Lister, you can see this V-Ray Plane…Light fills our entire window opening, and that has been set up there very…
