Lightworks Rendering Engine

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:11:44 GMT

I have ArchiCad 11 when creating 3-D w/ Lightworks Rendering Engines selecting Pictures the final result the background (which is nice sky with clouds) shows up black. The model in 3-D shows correct but I cannot fix the sky backgound to show the selected one.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

Can you post an image of your lightworks settings?

This should be your problem. I haven't used lightworks much recently, but I believe this is what controls the background in the lightworks environment. The 'plain' default color is black, so that makes sense. Change plain to image or scaled image, select the image, etc. and that should do it.
