Title: How to enhance shadow in a scene
Post by: maxxeric on 2017-08-07, 09:52:01

Hi everyone,

I have a little question,

How do I let those cabinet doors shadow obvious after the selected Secondary solver?

Thanks in advance

Eric

Which version of Corona is this? It looks ancient. :)

It looks like there is some kind of light behind the cabinets, so it probably illuminates them from the inside.

What I sometimes do is I create a plane material and put it in between the cracks. That way I can control how much of the shadows are actually visible just by pulling the plane more inwards or outwards.

Surprisingly it works pretty well.

Oh and I apply a black material to the plane. ;)

Talking about realistic rendering :D dayyyumm :) that is some advanced stuff moving the plane inside of the cabinets back and forward.

may be Corona Ray Switch material with black GI material---- some more simple variant than geometry option--:)
Always used in Vray for this type white furnitures---- something like generate GI--0 in object properties///
Also possible to use corona AO map////---

I would like to suggest to properly model cabinets with empty space inside and check for correct reflectance of materials, but i'm affraid that response will be as usual - "we can't remodel everything, it's too much work!" :/

Thanks everybody,

Mine is Alpha 6.1, I tried many methods, even use Version 1.6 but still cannot solve, now only can put other material (grey) into to groove line.  :(
