BMRT 2.6 Global Illumination

[swissguy]

Ok. Absolute renderman newbie here. Basically I am exporting RIBS from Wings3d
(www.wings3d.com) and rendering with BMRT 2.6. I would really like to
figure out how to configure and render a simple GI setup, like in the basic
Brazil images, ie:
http://www.splutterfish.com/sf/Images/img\_...etbot-test4.jpg

I've tried "rendrib -radio n file" with various n settings but I just get a
nearly flat white cutout of my 3d model. I tried editing my RIB and setting
"indirect" as the light source but I'm sure I did it wrong as it generated
errors.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Sean.

Check out this Link:

You can get very nice GI images in BMRT without having to use the -radio flag anymore.

Also, check out www.deathfall.com, they've got some nice BMRT tutorials for GI and HDRI type imagery as well....

Good luck!
