arvind Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 hi guys, this is my second post. in this view the lighting inside the room has to be dull and soothing, but outside has to be bright and cheerfull. i have tried lots of combinations, and im not able to create two seperate areas of lighting. any suggestions on how to do this? thanks in advance, arvind.

STRAT Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 try using radiosity, that will naturally start to separate external and linternal lighting for you in a single image. work on it some more then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 If you double up your window panes and flip the normals of the outer pane, you can affect the light coming from the 'sun' by varying the transparency of the glass material. If there are no normals facing the light it just passes straight through. Just use very weak lights inside the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 IC, that's a pretty good idea! However, how would that work if you wanted to actually be able to see outside? Would the glass start to look frosted with decreased transparency? Can you disable the visibility of the outter glass so it's not visible to the camera, but still have it control the light passing through? I don't mess with Radiosity much anmore since I installed the vray free, but I don't do interiors either. Though, he never said he was using radiosity, so that may not have anything to do with the method you described. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 The same principal applies to the camera. You won't see the outer pane at all (as long as it's a single polygon and not a box!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Oh, I see. The outter pane is facing outside (away from the camera) so it's invisible to the camera by default of it's normals, but it's visible to the light, which is why it has an effect on transmission with its transparency. Makes sense now! I'm a little slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvind Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 hi guys, thanks for the suggestions, in a few hours i will post an image with different light settings. cheers, Arvind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvind Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hi IC, i made changes according to ur suggestions on the glass and now the 'sun' is coming in, also with two weak lights in the lounge area. now all i have to do is to make the right hand side interior slightly more darker to give a subdued lighting effect. cheers, arvind.

izrut Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 move the curtains let the daylight come in. I think your glass reflects too much. and U chose the right background img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jysngltndz Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 yup a background would really help, early morning backround.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 That looks much better imo. Maybe all you have to do now is raise the level of light at the window area. Then you can play with brightness and contrast in post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvind Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 hi guys, thanks for all your suggestions. making changes, the client seems to changing his mind all the time. --That's a lot of pillows there dude !! yep i removed a couple of them. working on more design changes, will post progress image soon. is there any way of giving a glow at the window? cheers, arvind.

IC Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Make the glass luminous? Or use photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 The curtains would still let light hit the floor, though it would be less defined than having no curtains at all. I don't know what the best way would be to simulate that. Maybe some variation of the previously mentioned window method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
