VRAY interior lighting - window problem

[Asgeijr]

Hi!

 

I've just started working with vray and im attempting to do an interior light scene "A". (Im using Rhino not 3Ds btw)

 

I just can't figure out how to get the windows lighted as in "B".

 

Im using rectangular lights outside the windows, a pointlight in the middle of the room for further light, and a vray sun outside.

 

Any suggestions =)?

You need an environment light. Don't know how it works in Rhino, but I'm guessing you could place a skylight outside.

May be you can use a self illuminated material in the certain object or curtain.

You have a direct light source. You need to add a Vray sky. If you use the Vray sun, it will prompt you to add the sky at the same time and do it automatically.

Thank you for the suggestions =)

 

I'm using the vray sun with sky, but the effect im looking for is like the windows in picture B.

 

If I use a emissive material layer on the windows I think it blocks the rays of sunlight and I won't get the effect of the illuminated window on the floor.

 

It seems like a simple task since I haven't yet come across it in any tutorial.

 

Any suggestions in what to do, or where to find a good tutorial on lighting interior or exterior is more than welcome =)

may be rhino works in different way.

As aaron said put a vray sun in and add the default sky as a starting point, you can then try and add a vray light (plane) right behind glass

Make sure the plane is set as a sky portal.

Also check your glass settings. Is it transparent enough? Do you have affect shadows checked?
