It is just a constant frustration that architects are so blind to lighting and the real colors of things around them. What with photography magazines, architectural magazines and Photoshop with which to sample digital colors, you'd think it would be easier to emulate photorealism.

For instance:

- the continued insistence that sunlight and ambient light is white because that is Graphisoft's default, when in reality a guy working in a basement who obviously knows nothing about illustration did the set up. He's obviously never been to Los Angeles with its brown and purple lighting.

- that the idiotic camera light is enabled even though it leads to amateur flash-on-camera glare but the guy who set that in the default thinks it is valid because he has a flash on HIS camera. Amateur.

- that Archicad users who have the power to control environments select glaring, scalded whiteness for walls when they can't decide on a color scheme - even a temporary one. So we continue to see vacuous greyness and scalloped light shadows because Graphisoft never put any roughness in the default surfaces.

-that one can still find black soffits in Graphisoft documents.

- aaaargh.
