CineRender Everything is Blue!

I'm trying to render an interior view with CineRender in ArchiCAD 18 and everything is blue. Any ideas why this might be?

Another item to check is the Sun position. The Indoor Daylight Fast (Physical) scene uses the Archicad Sun Position (Environment > Physical Sky > Time and Location > Use Archicad's Sun position), so check that to make sure it is not set to a nighttime setting. If this is not checked, then look at the Date & Time and Location parameters.

Hi,

The modification of the values of the primary and secondary intensity might give a misleading result. Because the image can be easily enlightened, but there won't be linear relationship between the light and the quality of the shadows.

The fast render scenes are fast because the Diffuse depth has a very low value. This should be enhanced to have a more photorealistic rendering, and to increase the qualiy of the shades (the engine counts more bounces for the light beams ). But on the other hand it will take up a lot of time. (in the next version it will be quicker because the engine will be updated )

Also the wrong setup of the sun might caused that the image was too dark. But if this result came with sun set to south then adjust the value of the DD parameter or the primary/secondary intensity parameters.

Best regards,
Sándor
