Artlantis - ArchiCAD Model

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have opened my ArchiCAD model up in Artlantis. What I'm having problems with is the color tone of the materials. Most of the time while navigating in Artlantis - the colors will look over exposed or pastel-ish, but every now and then when I zoom in - the colors will match up with the material swatches. When I render or make a video - the colors are pastel-ish? I'm not really sure whats going on or what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Materials/color respond to light intensity/color just like in real life. If trying to match, e.g., a paint swatch to how it appears in a 'light box' in a paint store - then you need to exactly reproduce that intensity and color of light.

If super pastel, then you probably have some post-effects turned on in Artlantis.

Can you post a comparison of a preview with a render??
