    Hi Ciro thank you for your efforts.. I feel your passion and I’m so happy to be here!! 1 question 4u: so what is the color mapping I have to use generally? Thank you for your time!

    • Ciro Sannino - Auth says:

      Hi Lucas,
      basically use LINEAR, always use linear… exponential/reinhard are a “compromise” to avoid overexposures. The bad point is that exponential reduce the contrast. So LINEAR, EXPONENTIAL just in case of overexsposures.

    Just wonderful Ciro! You have done a great work!
    I have a question about Draw region and Real zoom. Can we use these features if we activate the active shade through our viewport as you did at the end of your second video?

    • Ciro Sannino - Auth says:

      Thank you Viktoria!!
      About your question… yes of course you can use DrawRegion and RealZoom in the viewport-Real Time 😉

    hi
    how we can define the exact value of each resolution Light Cache?

    • Ciro Sannino - Auth says:

      Hi Soufiane,
      impossible to determine the exact value: it depends on the scene, the textures, the quantity and typology of the details. In my opinion 2000 is a good value for final and detailed renders. Anyways there’s no formulas, and remember that the “exact value” will NEVER improve the aesthetic impact of your scene.

    Ciro, I notice that your max have a same bug that I’m experience with my 3dsmax. The right-clik menu(quads) didn´t appears completely, we have to scroll to show its full content. Have an idea to fix it? Thanks

    • Ciro Sannino - Auth says:

      Hi marcos,
      I got the bug you see just while recording the screen. During the usual work Ive never experienced this kind of problem.
