Render and light

alanhaugec_bfd7f770ea

I have some of Stonemasons product and saw a nice light pack Ultimate Stonemason Makeover - 14-in-1 Bundle

(Compatible Software: DAZ Studio 4.9, DAZ Studio)

and DIRECTORs CUT City Courtyard.

My problem is that I can load a scene and select a camera and render.

But if I load some of the light in the sets I just get a black render.

Also if I just load some light form the DS meny I also got a black render.

What am I doing wrong here. DS 4.9

You have to set the camera settings in Tone Mapping for the amount of light in the scene the same as you would do in a camera before taking a picture. The wrong settings can underexpose, black, or over expose, white, the render.

And how do I that or change it back, I was only loading the lights and then get black renders. 

Can't find where to set it

I should have asked, are you using Iray or 3Delight? If Iray then Tone Mapping is under Render Settings. I don't use 3Delight so can't help there.

Iray and okay if i turned tonemapping off it worked.

So if I want it on excatly which parameter shall I change?

Do you know how to manually set a camera to take a picture?

Basically

Set the shutter speed slower lets say 25

Lower the F/Stop say to 5.6

Increase the film ISO lets say 400

See how that works. It may well be that is too much, the image will be too white, or not enough, the image will still be dark.
