The Sponza model is ready for “out-of-the-box” rendering. No SU Podium properties have been applied. The above image is using Exterior_QMC presets but the model is ready to render with the Exterior_Default preset. The rendering demonstrates how well SU Podium's Global Illumination works.

 Ando

The Ando model is a great study of rendering interiors with no artificial lighting. The floor has blurred reflections. The interior is too dark for the Default preset as is. It is recommended that you use the interior_default or interior_bright_default preset. Then use Edit in OOPR to open the image in Podium Image Editor. Then change the light levels.
