Join Donovan Keith for an in-depth discussion in this video Utilizing Irradiance Cache global illumination, part of Production Rendering Techniques in Cinema 4D.
Irradiance Cache Global Illumination is perfectly suited to architectural renderings.…By sampling the bounce light in parts of an image and smoothly blending between the samples,…it gives you all of the visual benefits of bounce lighting with a minimum of expense at render time.…Let's just take a look at a simple architectural interior.…What I've got is a polygon objects for my walls, some simple chairs made out of cubes,…a few picture frames, and then also a window right here.…I am going to take a look at the scene from outside just to show you how it was constructed.…
