Gathering Light Sources

LightWork Design releases LightWorks v7.6 rendering software with Final Gather.

One of the problems of generating renderings is placing lights correctly. Rendering packages tend to provide a generic light so that the entire scene is lit, but this light is overridden once you add your own lights. Placing them badly produces frustrating renderings.

Final Gather is technology from LightWorks that calculates the lighting automatically. Here's an example of how it works: shine a spotlight on the floor in a dark room. Final Gather illuminates the ceiling and walls with bounced light. More examples here.
