My building is 12 stories, with2 types of glazing, one of which should more or less "glow". How should I do this? It seems a bit redundant and overkill to add and duplicate so many individual interior lights.<BR /> <BR /> How do you recommend to approach this?<BR /> <BR /> Attached is an image with my building (day render) and an example of the kind of light I want to achieve</T></DIV><BR /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/68689i5ACD53015A0377BC/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="render.jpg" title="render.jpg" /> Thu, 11 May 2023 10:17:39 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Artlantis-2-1-Night-Render-questions/m-p/184184#M12049 Anonymous 2023-05-11T10:17:39Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Artlantis-2-1-Night-Render-questions/m-p/184185#M12050 I'd be making a skin material applied to the glazing - with Neon shader.<BR /> <BR /> Turn ambient reflection to max. <BR /> <BR /> <BR /> The rendering comes a little light so a Levels drop in Photoshop restores saturation.<BR /><IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/37392iC77DE6ABB49423E9/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="Springer night 1.jpg" title="Springer night 1.jpg" /> Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:59:37 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Artlantis-2-1-Night-Render-questions/m-p/184185#M12050 Dwight 2009-03-02T15:59:37Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Artlantis-2-1-Night-Render-questions/m-p/184186#M12051 Cant seem to get it right...and how can I reduce all that splochiness?<BR /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/68003i2A38D2B4CEEBA416/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="ACCamera_1.jpg" title="ACCamera_1.jpg" /> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:12:52 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Artlantis-2-1-Night-Render-questions/m-p/184186#M12051 Anonymous 2009-03-03T00:12:52Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Artlantis-2-1-Night-Render-questions/m-p/184187#M12052 Reduce the radiosity.<BR /> <BR /> Post your settings.
