Shaderlight for SketchUp 3D Rendering Technology

Solar flares?

Mar 07, 2013 10:20pm onividjm Total Posts: 20	I recently did this rendering. I am generally happy with the results, but for some reason, if you look closely, there are tiny white “flares” in random places. Can onyone tell me what these are and how I can avoid them? This rendering was done at max resolution. Thanks P.S. The image shown is not the worst case of this situation - it was just the one I had handy.

Could I ask what version of the software you are using? as the newest version fixes a lot of the light leaks. You can easily remove them with any photo manipulating software such as photoshop, gimp etc. Hope that helps Shaun

I was wondering if you know of any difference between Sketchup & Shaderlight whether you use it on a MAC or PC? I have seen different results, with better ones on PC (which was a shock to me, as a MAC person lol). I did use Photoshop to fix the light leaks, but it was rather annoying to do so (this was only one of several renders that I used). Thanks again.

Talking about the difference of the final renders between PC and Mac (Im also on a Mac), there wont be any difference if it was to be printed out. The only visual difference would be on-screen,due to the kind of display your using and the technical specs of the display/monitor. However as I said on a presentation board/magazine/poster the result will be the same. Shaun
