Note: I wanted the wall to look old and worn down. Type was set to Still cam - F-number was lowered to 2.0 - Exposure was left on - Vignetting was disabled Multiplier was set to 60 - A redish color was applied to the V-Ray light - Subdivs were left default at 8 I wanted to make it appear as though there was a bar or some other light source just off camera. It is facing towards the wall and is aimed slightly towards the main scene geometry. The V-Ray light (All of the above contribute to the global illumination) As you can see from the screen grab above, the V-Ray light is positioned in the top right portion on the scene. Note: The light in this scene comes from three sources. The material is a V-Ray light material - The color has been set to a navy blue shade - The multiplier has been set to 2.0 Note: Since this material is for the ON state of the neon light, it is a V-Ray Light material and it generates illumination. V-Ray Material Settings for the BLUE neon light (ON STATE) The material is a V-Ray light material - The color has been set to yellow/orange - The multiplier has been set to 2.0 V-Ray Material Settings for the YELLOW neon light (ON STATE) The material has Fresnel reflections - IOR set to 2.0 - Max depth set to 8 Note: Since this material is for the off state of the neon light, it is not a Light material and it does not generate illumination. V-Ray Material Settings for the BLUE neon light (OFF STATE)

Neon sign in off state Note: Since this material is for the off state of the neon light, it is not a Light material and it does not generate illumination. V-Ray Material Settings for the YELLOW neon light (OFF STATE) The environment light has been enabled and toned down to 0.2 - The reflection/refraction environment has been enabled and set to 1.0 Note: a HRDI map was used for the reflections Irradiance Map preset is set to medium - Under options I enabled show calc phase - Mode is set to Single Frame GI is on - Primary GI engine is set to Irradiance map - Secondary GI engine is set to Quasi-Monte Carlo

Displacement is enabled - Default lights are disabled The plane is not in view of the camera but it is necessary for light bounces and color bleeding.

Also I placed a plane above the floor acting as the face of a billiards table. Note: The object acting as the floor is just a copy of the back wall.

Basic Interior Lighting Download the scene here Note: The scene will only work with Max 9.ДЄs you can see, in this particular scene, I pay little attention to objects that are not in view of the camera. Next monday we will get a 64bit machine to try out to see if this solves all our problems.1. The only way I see is to render it irradiance map in pieces and merge it using the irradiance map viewer, but even the viewer sometimes crashes. Most of the time max crashes without any warning but sometimes I get a message that Vray can't allocate memory. using irradiance map would be much faster and flexible if only I could get it to work. I am at a complete loss here and have been forced to Quasi Monte Carlo render the whole thing on our render farm which seems to take about a weak and a half. looking at the Vray message window I see that Max allocates about 2 extra Mb per frame and my animation is 2500 frames so memory is a problem, I use the 3Gig switch but this does not help. I am using a very low irradiance map setting, but still enough to give me decent quality. Image sampler - set to Adaptive QMC to save RAM leaf size: 0.005m, afaik should be increased if problems occur.ДЇace/level coef: 3.0 afaik should be increased if problems occurДynamic memory limit: ? have no idea what this does please help Max tree depth: 30, afaik should be low if problems occur. I have a lot of problems calculating the irradiance map for a walk through animation, I have very low samples and have set the following parameters in the system dialog.
