Light source rendering

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:17:15 GMT

Hello. Please help me.

I am trying to make a light source glow in Archicad... for example I have a ceiling with fluorescent troffer lights but I want to be able to see the actual lamps illuminated, not just the light they throw.

If anyone can help me out with how to do this I would be very grateful!

Thanks

Make a new material in LightWorks.
Apply the Constant Shader under the Reflectance Class.
Apply a light blue color as Plain Shader under the Colour Class.

Put this material on the tubes.

"Viola" as Duane would say.

Show me the result.
