ARCHICAD 11 LIGHTWORKS-Shadowing

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I've have a slight problem. I am presently trying to do some renders in lightworks.

The main problem I am finding is the shadows aren't really realistic, as I feel they are coming in from all angles.

I've attached a quick render. The pararmeteres I've used are both a sun and sky object, and within the photo rendering settings the lightwork effects are are at best, with the light sources sun and ambient unchecked.

Thanks in advance.

Your lighting direction is individual.
You must have automatic direction.

Any tips to make the light more automatic?

Cheers.

I think he means to 'check' the sun object. If the shadows are not 'realistic', use the 3D view settings to locate your project geographically, and then use that in your rendering to reflect the correct sun and shadow angles in your rendering.
