My quick Guide to setting up Global Illumination in Houdini Mantra:
- In shop: shop -> Mantra Light -> VEX Global Illumination.
- In obj: obj -> (TAB Menu) -> Light Template
- In the new Light Templates Settings: Light -> Render -> Shaders: Open floating operator chooser. Select shop -> v_gilight
- (optional) Configure v_gilight as you wish; for faster rendering start with a low Sampling Quality (for example 8 or 16). For later renderings bump up to for example 256).
- (optional) Render your scene (perhaps for testing add some additional lights like spotlights).
I hope you find this helpful!
