Artlantis light objects

[Anonymous]

hi,

just wondering, how do i activate or turn on light objects so they appear on in artlantis?? is that done when placing the object in archicad or in artlantis when rendering??

Cheers

thankyou so much for that. i have had so many "little" issues popping up that are causing huge problems for me. The only thing i can think of is that it is an educational version i am using and that is why im having so many problems with both ArchiCAD 12, Artlantis Studio 2 and Artlantis Render.

Hopefully your response will enable me to at least get done what i need to do, so i can then sort once assignment is in.

Cheers

so we sorted the light thing.
What else?

thats all on that issue, now i will just go buy some light objects as the library i have has none at all in both ArchiCad libraries and artlantis

For lamps you go to the lamp tool not the object tool.

yeah no, there is no light's or lamps other than 2 i downloaded the other day that are designed more so for a mansion rather than the type of residence i have to do

That's not right.

Do they give the students the standard library?

Like you could tell.

Visit the GDL Depository

Oh my Goodness!!!! u have no idea how happy u have just made me!!! i have spent the last couple of days trying to get all this stuff without knowing where to get it from!!!! thank you so much!!!

the lights i had downloaded did not have the on off function like these ones from the depository which is why when i exported to artlantis i couldnt turn on or adjust the lighting. thankyou!!!

[Dwight]

Aha!!!!!

The objects you downloaded previously were probably just props - no light emission.

Yes, that may say. and the guys from Graphisoft lose Autodesk, textures in ArchiCAD not very well understood! Their preferences have to spend a lot of time and the preview window is not visible and the texture, which will then in the renders.
For normal operation you should know all these nuances, and adjust the texture with the light of these advances.
In 3D MAX a fool (I do not mean professional!) Can apply the "correct texture" a movement of his hands ... In ArchiCAD that was not enough ...
