Artlantis R and Exposure Control

[AJLynn]

I'm evaluating software for some people in my office who would like to be able to do Sketchup to a decent render without needing to know anything as complicated as Max and somebody suggested Artlantis R.

 

I've got a demo copy, and wow, the interface sure is easy (so long as you don't expect it to make perfect sense), but my test images come out too bright. I think it's using (an imperfect) exposure control without telling me anything about it, and I can't find a setting for it - because if I turn down my lights to 10%, it comes out just as bright as when they were at 100!

 

Does anybody know Artlantis who can tell me what the deal is and how to fix it?

hello AJLynn!

at the left top screen u have a slider woth a button named Radiosity, its probably adjusted to 150 instead of 50, play with it, its suppose to controll the light strength...

I don't seem to have that function. I don't think I like this software very much - they seem to have made their decisions based on ease of use more than anything else, and then it does dumb things that make it hard to use.
