Lightscape 3.2 tutorial

Light sources

After you have arranged your model, and before you start processing, you need to indicate the lighting conditions for your model. Lightscape will distribute light from the sources on to the surfaces and from them as well.

Daylight

Lightscape can achieve a very high degree of reaslim when simulating daylight on your model, especially when processing parameters are well defined.

If you are considering daylight for your model, select Light>Daylight from the menu.

  

  • Sun and Sky: specify the color of sunlight and skyligh.

  • Daylight Processing Options. If you want to transfer your file to 3DS Max, you should not store direct illumination (uncheck the boxes) because 3DSMax will recompute direct illumination when raytracing.

  • Direct Control: specify directly sun location and intensity.

    • or

  • Date/Time: specify a place (also orientation of your model) and time. Lightscape will calculate sun location for you.
