Hello,

I created this little scene and rendered it lastnight, I can't believe that a Lightworks novice like me can create such real life images so quickly.

Graphisoft has done an incredible job with 9.0 and lightworks.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

... of course you can make "fake radiosity" using only raytracing...

I add light to similate "global illumination",
I set hard soft shadows ... (*)
in this case you can obtain 35 secondes calculation...

Thank's again Stefan,

Gerard

(*) with very nice progressive soft shadow it take 3 minutes...

The six-minutes version is the best comprimise between quality and speed. It's good, not perfect, but at a level that it can be used for most production work.

The last one (the fakiosity) misses the light bouncing and this difference is too big.

Nice.

If I am correct the background of this rendering is Budapest with one of our bridges and the Buda castle.

sorry for asking this but do you need sky and sun object when doing interior rendering. we are using window lighting which has its own sun settings ?

You're asking a question about a 6 year old post - so may not get an answer from the original participants. 😉

It is important that you post the version of AC that you are using in your question, or ideally in your Profile/footer (click the blue Profile link near the top of this page).

Recent versions of AC do not require either the sky or sun objects - those were only required in old versions. In those versions, the Window Light object was required to obtain soft interior illumination from windows.

Cheers,
Karl
