need to create something like this

[chow choppe]

Hi everyone

 

We are working on an interior animation of a lobby

the space is double height and has a glass facade. Similar to this

 

 

or

 

 

i want to know whats the best way to have this kind of natural lighting from outside. my glass wall is also in curve similar to this image

 

what shud i show outside the building? shud i use an image mapped hemisphere?

 

Also what shud be the lightcache subdivisons and sample size value for a decenr lighting

 

Thanks

the same way as you would put anyother environment outside a window or opening , hemisphere / cylinder /plane or put it in photoshop later...

theres no magic light cache number....you just have to put in different values and try it for yourself

[chow choppe]

should i put fill lgihts around the curve wall?

 

and it cant be done in PSHOP later as its an animation as i mentioned

 

Also i am not looking for a magic lightcache number

but when i do stills i have a fe figures which always give me a good start point to adjust

i was asking for those numbers

 

Thanks
