Interior Rendering

[Anonymous]

Im not very happy with this image.
The left wall is very dark but the furniture is very bright (im using a general light source with some recessed spots).
The ceiling looks better from my previous renderings but still...dont like it.

Any help is welcomed.

hello,

I am not a specialist but I guess that what is missing is radiosity (global
illumination). For such thing you (me too by the way) need artlantis R.
May be you can use a fake light source behind your windows (parrallel ray) such windows light in archicad. I am quite sure that specialist here will give you more information (I am also interested)
Cheers
Jean-Luc
PS: however me I like it without radiosity 😉

You don't need radiosity, but you need to know how to setup your lightscene.
My english is too bad for describing it but here is alot of threads that describe very good how to do.

Maybe Dwight soon will be reading this.

Typical starter rendering.

- no color in lights! No such thing as white. Light has color: warm and cool.
- Should sun come in the window?
- compose scene to capture the eye: make scene interesting.
- light intensity generally too high.
- use light cone down instead of general light.
- use Undersun™ to brighten ceiling.
- make surfaces rougher and make no white surfaces.
- wall dark since oblique reflection from general light is poor.

More?: Get book.

loool once he read that he will start firing at us!! naaaa..really thanx to his book i am able to do good stuff in ArchiCAD , but still want i think.. is LWRE is good for internal communication.. like explain my design to my mates at company , and even to display it to clients for every day presentations , but when comes to higher level? no... i'll go to ArtLantis

any way , i think we must know how to get Good images using LWRE .


Later Edit : WHAT Dwight post before me!! wooow!! he is types like wind!!

Thanks for answering Dwight but I would like to know
if radiosity is possible with archicad 10 or will be possible
in archicad 11. May be I am wrong but the radiosity effect seems to solve
many problems ?

- Don't stop with Artlantis. Artlantis has second-rate surfaces. Go to LightWave or Cinema 4D.

- radiosity does solve many problems, but takes a long time to render. Once you have the right solution in LightWorks, it is faster and can be pretty good. Lightworks requires a better understanding of light behavior.

- Type like wind. haha. I break the wind. Typical problem - typical answer. Just a paste-in.

- No improvement in 11. Leads to overuse of Emoticons.

Dwight,

- I should put color in the lights?
- Already used two window lights!
- Will try different light intensitys
- What do you mean about "rougher"?
- How do I resolve the darkness of the wall?

Your book is going to be difficult...I'm in Mozambique!

Regards

[Dwight]

Your questions require an entire essay that i just do not have the inclination to write.

I ship to Mozambique.
You could have the book by next week.

- I guess this can be managed with less object. I will see with Artlantis R
US$115.00 is a bit expensive from my point of view. I am agree
to buy a good book about mathematics or physics but I am not sure that equations are explained in yours ?. A pdf version would be quite enough and probably cheaper. Till 70 $ I am agree but here I guess your publisher exaggerate. Mum don't be offended It is just my feeling
Best regards
