Week 4 : Light
Day 20 : Bulb
"What strange fruits are you bearing?"
So yeah, I forgot how painful light sources and transmission were in Karma! Unless I missed something, of course.
I went between actual instanced lightsources and instanced emissive geo, but the core of the issue was more with how lights are filtered going through a transparent surface. Someday, I'll read up on it.
Network shows a different pic because I just reverted to an older render I had already saved in the end. Denoising did a number on the waves in the submitted one, but the general intent and look was, imho, a bit better. And I liked the lighting a bit better, too.
In the one displayed in my screenshot, I was adding leaves ( a nice touch ) and getting better waves in the water ( a nice touch ) but the bulbs didn't look very nice. I prefered the "transparent with a luminous core" to the "bright opaque" kind, you know ?
