Hi guys,

 

This is my first post and I was hoping for some advice. I am using Autodesk viz 2006 daylight with radiosity at 60%.

 

Could someone tell me how to make shadows more realistic and how

to make the prints on the wall look like they aren't floating?

 

thanks,

cain

I am still on Viz 4 but probably the "meshing" of the Radiosity solution is too coarse. The finer it is the more shadow detail, specially smaller shadow details. Search this forum and you will find just about everything about Radiosity; among other things. By the way, 60% is just about only good for preview purposes.

this is probably due to that 60 % quality..increase that one....also make your materials super sample to get rid of those jagies

thanks guys,

 

I will definitely increase the radiosity. Is there anything else I could change. What shader would you use for wall materials? I used a diffuse white for my walls but they turn out beige. Is it a reflective issue from the wood floors?

How do I fix this problem?

 

I am still learning viz and I could use all the help I can get.

That "beige" color thingy is called color bleed. Has to do with Reflectance.

Do the tutorials that came with Viz. Also look at the tutorials by Ted Boardman, right here on this forum. There are other tuts here too from Montree T. and others:

Those will give you a good going set for starters.

 

Cheers,

Also you might want to give the glass some reflection. If you fix this image, it will be a good use of interior radiosity.

So you will not have to look through like a gazillion tuts just to improve and get a good grip on Interior daylighting, just check this one:
