Before lightmass portal with 4.10 version, i created my workflow for lightmass settings (mixing koola’s, rafareis and my methods) and i was starting to learn parameters effects to my scene. Everything was getting clear. But after lightmass portal i’m confused. I don’t know, i have to change baselightmass.ini file… And lightmass portals increase building times nearly 5-6 times in my scene. Should i use them for every windows? Lightmass portal is unnecessary if i have large windows? Or what about if i have non-regular windows? What will happen if i use them bigger than windows? Is there anything change will i use it inside of the windows or middle of the room? There are lots of questions like these.
I guess we need an extensive guide for lightmass portals and lightmass settings… Like experiments…
Here is my scene. I deleted landscape and foliage for shorter render times. Now my machine works on it with lightmass portal version… without lightmass portals building takes 82 minutes (with 4.11 preview 3).
By the way front side of the villa… you can see large windows of front side…
Here is non-regular windows…
Lightmass portal which is at the outside of the window…
