Please see attached render for a interior done with D2.0 and now with D2.1. It looks like the new D2.1 GI has change the overall setting of my project?

Thank you.

Hi, WB5. In this update, global illumination has been boosted, see here https://www.d5render.com/post/d5-render-global-illumination. Since it’s D5 GI, seeing the difference you mentioned is normal, it may look brighter now to you, but is actually more accurate. Hope you understand and adjust it based on that :blush:

Hi WB5, how it looks in the preview? D5 2.1 looks brighter because we increased light bounce times. For old 2.0 version, you may need to increase exposure, or add artificial lights to improve the light effect. But in 2.1, you can just forget those methods and easily set the sun intensity and exposure.

If the preview looks very different from the output, please let us know.

Hi ivan, the problem you met is very strange and we have not seen this bug before, could you send us this scene file?
support@d5techs.com

sure! done.

Hi ivan, please check this:


It seems in your 2.1 version, the auto exposure is turned off, so the image is dark.

Hi Oliver, in fact, auto exposure is on. I did a test right now, and see:

now i’m confused i don’t understand the problem when i used the file last time :crazy_face:

No problem, you can try using artificial light and sunlight to illuminate the scene, instead of high exposure, which may cause noise problem.
