Precalulating Lighting in 3.0.1? 2003-12-08 - By m3d242
Back
When using any of the GI options, (caustics, sky dome, etc...) when you press
render first it goes through the "Sample Lighting" and we see a progress bar
run at the top of our screen. Since updating to 3.0.1 I've noticed that it now
goes through the "Sample Lighting" and once that reaches 100% it starts a
second progress bar right under it that says it's "Precalculating Lighting".
My question is, what exactly is it doing? What is "Precalculating Lighting"? I
know I've not changed the way I do anything so unless I've not been paying
attention, I'm assuming it's something new in 3.0.1 since I've never seen it
before.
There's no problem or issue with it I was just wondering what the
extra step was for. I figure it'll have to be one of the Eovia guys who
answers this one. Matt, Charles?
