Archo Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I am currently working on a drawing in spotlight 11.5 and am wondering whether or not there is anyway to project atmosphere in my renderings. I want to see beams of light in mid air. Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 V12 renderworks has fog effects. As well as weather. Quote Link to comment
Archo Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 well, id love to start working in VW12, but currently cannot afford the update...anyone have any tips or tricks for 11.5? When I do get 12, I look forward to the fog effect - thank you Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 V11.5 also has weather effects >Fog , rain, & snow. But gettin' a beam effect through the fog is a Radiosity issue and that requires upgrading to v12. Why use CAD overhead to calculate beams of light thru FoggyBottom when Photoshop makes it sooooo easy to do ... Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Archo, The rendering technology you are refering to is known as Volumetric Lighting. VW 12 introduced this technology with the rendering package. Final Quality RenderWorks and Radiosity both allow you to show the particles in the light beam. You have total control over the density of the particles and how strong the light is, which makes for getting the exact presentation style you want. Quote Link to comment
