Lightish glow / spots around edges

vgeorgiou · Jul 24th 2017

Hello

Could someone help me understand why I would be getting these lightish glow areas around edges?

I'm creating a massing type model and dont know why this happens?

Any help much appreciated.

Just to add, i was using a phase filter to create that image but even turning the filter off and using basic materiality I still get some form of glow.

Hi vgeorgiou

These glowing sections are brighter because there's a reflection from the connected wall/ground. The glow gets darker the bigger the shadow on the connected wall/ground gets.

=>But we will check the shadows and the intensity of the reflection.

Thanks. But what i don't understand is if I do the same in say Sketchup vray there are no reflections.

Surely it should be more like the vray image?

It's another Render Engine, mMaybe they don't use the bump maps in combination with ray tracing for realistic lighting?

I recognized that you've definitely used a different sun angle in that Vray rendering.
=>But we will check this.

It just looks a little odd to me to have these lightish areas around edges?

I've tried to re-create the same sun angle, (ish)

But whats interesting is the original images i posted used a black ground plane. This image I changed to a white. This time with no glowing edges.

What do you think? Something to do with the black ground plane?
