Hello everybody,

 

Thanks for being supportive. I attach 2 more shots of the same space, different angles/finish.

 

To save time, I kept the glass opaque - another room on the other side - and actually pretty dark. The room is lit through 2 rooflights - I didn't allow for other openings, to compensate the sun is too bright; strange glows/leaks at the ceiling etc. Also, while in preparation stage I didn't notice weird glitches when manipulating blocks, some furniture is slightly levitating, but I was already too deep into the solution file to go back. Lightscape doesn't like big files (30 Mb), so I guess I will have to move on to 3DS Max.

 

Any input is welcome.

 

Btw, it looks to me more architects/designers/architectural illustrators prefer 3ds Max to Maya. Is it mostly the price or something else?

 

Thanks,

Adrian

lightscape is a wonderful software by all means. the problem for your light leakage and ugly edge shadows can be solved, only with abit more patience. when modeling in 3dsmax, try to make objects' edges meet perfectly rather than overlapping each other. use the align tool......its useful. Lightscape is a very good lighting tool......too bad Discreet killed it

now I remember the ceiling tiles run past the bulkhead, so hello shadow leaks.

Actually, if I recall right it was not killed at all, Autodesk bought it and integrated it into Viz and Max. If Autodesk had more libral views on licencing it might evan still be around. There are still lots of people using it, evan if they are not aware of it. I have also heard that evan after the integration the standalone version still does a better job.

 

Personally I like it and the way it does things like rendering the complete model so you can move around at will and even stop the rendering process and pick it up later. For someone who has to do multiple views of a model it can be a great time saver.

I like what you have done and I too noticed the furniture not sitting correctly but still it is a great job. The first image that you posted I liked the best but these are really good.

 

Not sure why the problems with a 30 meg file, I had several that size and did not have too many problems. I had one around 80meg and it did it, just took time.

 

Post more!

I'm reproducing Jeff's words here:

"It's like comparing apples to oranges"

Autodesk's current radiosity engine is in no way like Lightscape.
