Creating Interactive Scene: 64 Variations

[bcummins]

I'm working on a interactive kitchen illustration to be used on home builders website and CD/DVD. It will have cabinet, flooring, and countertop selections; about 5 selections each. This will be a total of 125 kitchen variations! Impossibe to render each image seperately. I will be rendering with radiosity, and will composite in photoshop.

 

Is there any way to render these groups of objects in layers? Hiding or placing matte/shadows on non-rendered items will effect the lighting. This is not a problem with standard lighting techniques but will effect radiosity solutions.

Robert,

 

What did you end up doing? I am looking to have to do something similar and just starting to research out what I might need to do.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
