Archicad 13 + Maxwell Studio 2.5.1 = lighting problem

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:07:43 GMT

Hi everyone! I've browsed through older posts in the forum but couldn't find anything that would help me out with this problem, hopefully I didn't miss something..
Anyway, the thing is that some lamps are not acting as they should in a render. At first I thought that those lamps are not working at all, but then moved the inner shell of the lamp down and discovered that they are actually glowing, just on the wrong side which is covered by the outer shell. The inner side of the lamp which should be glowing gets totally black in a render.

By the way, if I export the model from Archicad to Cinema 4d all the lights work properly there, the problem appears only in maxwell.

Any ideas on how to flip that inner shell or maybe to apply the material properly?

I add a couple pics for you to see what I'm dealing with:

Lamps with their inner shells in the place, glowing on the outside, which is not visible because it's covered by the outer shell
(Inner side of the lamp in this particular render is not totally black with some reflections because it's a glass emitter) :

in the object pararmeters can you apply normals and then flip them to the other side?

Hi splitlid, thanks for your reply! I tried to do what you've offered earlier and it didn't work. Tried it again - and it works like a charm! It's a miracle:D Thanks
