only3d Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Ive given up along time ago on the realism in archicad renders but 1 thing really bothers me and thats the reflectiveness of objects. i cant create an effect of a reflecting glass or somthing like that, so if somone knows how to achieve that id b very greatfull.

Ace_Face Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 ArchiCAD's rendering engine does not support reflections. You can only get specular highlights and crude ones at that with the built in rendering software. You have to go out to Artlantis or any other 3rd party renderer for realism. ArchiCAD will only produce cartoon rendings out of the box. There are some however, that use ArchiCAD to render the scene and then post produce fantastic renders using Photoshop.
