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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
