hyperlight stopped working

Hello,

I have been using lumion 5 since the day it came out, and have rendered a few still images using hyperlight successfully. But for some reason it has now stopped working and the renders wont have hyperlight effect. How can I fix this?

I don't have the shadow or global illumination effect on (I noticed when shadow effect is on hyperlight wont work).


See image below, no hyperlight effect..:(

Hi nastasia61, before we proceed, could you please enter your Lumion 5.0 license number at the bottom of the forum profile page?

Ah, I see - in that case, please forward your forum user name and your license number to my colleague, Arthur, who is in charge of licensing so this can be resolved. His email address is arthur [at] act-3d.com. Thanks in advance.

Regarding the Hyperlight issue, you may have accidentally turned on the Limit all texture sizes option on the Settings screen. If it's on, please turn it off and try to render your scene again.

I will email him now!

I switched it off, it does show that its processing hyperlight, BUT the result is just black!

Also why can't I use hyperlight in higher resolutions than desktop?

Thanks!

Can you take a screenshot of your benchmark results in Lumion and attach it to your next reply please? We're particularly interested in seeing which graphics card you're using and how much on-board memory it has. Did you have to turn on Limit all textures sizes to make it possible to render images in Lumion 5.0?

Also why can't I use hyperlight in higher resolutions than desktop?

This is due to a technical limitation as Print and Poster resolution renderings use a tile-based rendering method which is different from the full screen rendering method that lower resolution renderings rely on.

I don't have the right card for this software, I am waiting for an upgrade, so i try to get by..

What I don't understand is how it worked perfectly fine before and one day it just started rendering black images..

I am also attaching an image i rendered successfully using hyperlight before.

Hi nastasia61, you're right - the K2100M graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for running Lumion, so I'm not surprised you're getting black renderings.

This graphics card only gets 1349 PassMark points, and the bare minimum for the simplest possible scenes is 1500 PassMark points.

I'm guessing you may have added more models and/or effects since the last time you successfully rendered it.

If you turn on Limit all texture sizes the maximum texture resolutions in the scene will be capped, but apart from that, only a better graphics card (or fewer models/textures/effects in the scene) can help you in this situation.
