Question: how to write on a wall?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a question with ArchiCAD 12 walls:

is it possible to create a writing on the wall?

I would like to have a writing, like a neon sign, on a wall for viewing in 3D and render. Nothing "special" just a plain simple letters attached to a wall (in metal) with an illumination behind them.

I hope you understood what I am talking about, since my architectural english isn't quite good (yet, but hopefully this will change).

Thank you in advance.

Wonderful!
The usual problem with this effect is that the light is too strong.
How do you contain the light?


Here is a neon solution in LightWorks that could be a backlite, too.

i didnt do anything special. I created scene in archicad, export it to sketchup,assign materials. Backplane of text is emmisive material and text is 5 cm far away from wall.
Click render and this is it.
Dwight why dont u try to use some accurate render cos u loose a lot of time trying to achive good results in low end renders. I think that u could create beautifull renders in vray or maxwell cos of yours overall knowledge.
