Rhino Layout - Rendered/Arctic Display Modes - Issue

Rhino

1

Hi All,

I’ve just run across a strange issue since re-installing Rhino to the latest version.

When using rendered or arctic display modes in the viewport it’s giving me the soft look that I’m after, however when I show the same view through Layout space the ambient lighting is coming in much darker.

I can workaround the issue by changing the shadow intensity in the display mode settings but of course this isn’t ideal as I have to keep going back and forth for whether I’m in model space or layout space.

Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?

Cheers

Thanks for replying wim! - I might also add a couple of notes…

  1. I exported an image from the layout and the result was also dark shadows, so the problem doesn’t seem to be just on screen.

  2. I’ve run into this problem on a separate machine, both are laptops

Best Regards - P

This is something @DavidEranen has been working on to fix, has to do with incorrect application of gamma correction I believe. I think if you update to latest service release candidate (7.12 at this time of writing) you should get already a fixed version. I’m not sure whether it was already fully fixed or if there were still issues - I think with maybe overlapping details. But I’ve tagged him to let him answer with the correct info.

Hi @piers-vz,

The issue you’re seeing should be fixed in Rhino 7 SR 11.
