- Hi there everyone,
-
- Well I have a question for any of you guys doing Architectural
- interiors......
-
- Do you try and follow the original lighting plans? (that is do
- you place lights in all of the downlight positions, turn on trace shadows
- and wait 2 years for a frame :)
-
- I'm over exagerating just a wee bit there, but I tend to try and
- use distant light sources and place spots and omni's with falloff where
- they are needed to cast some nice shadows.
-
- I am doing an experiments with LW and I have found that to get
- any good results lighting realistically you have to actually model "the
- other side" of your objects. I mean the interior so that the light
- doesn't travel straight through. (I've just been putting some cubes etc.)
- Now from what I understand shouldn't turning on double-sided inLayout do
- the same thing, or do you need to do this when building in Modeler?
-
- Please set my poor brain straight, I'm working on toooooo many
- differant things at once. Staying up late every night doesn't seem to
- help the old thought processes much :)
-
- bye
- David Shaw
