help in lighting this scene. pls.

Hi all, ive found this forum very usefull but i came to a stop in lighting this scene, can some one help me out??

im making a daylight shot and a night one, with FP lights using web data. ive hide some objects like chairs, some sofla and tables to be more readable. On the windows im using some kind of transparent mat because there will be the base for some pictures that will be light by night…

thx

heres the link for the scene:http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/408530a1\_12c91/bc/My+Documents/acscd.zip?bfJV7lABs9p8oQPT

im using a very low settings to speed the rendering.

an eg. still:

cant see the scene, link doesnt work for me

Wrong link man

light

as you can see the lighting has been applied, but there are a lot of errors in your modeling causing light leaks. make sure all the objects is in line and does not have a gap in between them. also your materials setting has a few problem…i used a gray shade since you didnt include the images used in your scene. make sure none of your material has a metal or anistropic shaders. check your mail.. i mailled the file to your account vortexpc@yahoo.com.

the light problem :slight_smile:

for the links im very sorry, ill post some new links on other site, cant make these to work :slight_smile:

thx reza for the file, will post some final pictures :slight_smile:

and thx all for helping me, this forum and its users should be granted some kind of award :slight_smile:

im learning more each day with the help from this forum, maybe ill help someone in a near future.

Youre welcome.

The pleasure is all mine. By the way…try not to import objects from autocad in 3d form, always import 2d shapes and extrude them in max..good luck.

btw the scene file is in max6 format

good

i have to admit it that youre doing very well since youre new…but i think youre trying too hard on the materials…ill come up with something new and post it to you later.
but at the mean time…try to make the wood colour to bounce under obj settings..

ok. This scene represents a real space, im just modelling the chairs and tables, and the inside of the balcony.

The meshes “sofla”, “drink machine” and “denon amplif” i got them from the web. they are just for reference, the deal is the tables and chairs and the inside of the balcony.

the link for that scene file does not work.

use the space provided in my sig below for a place to put your files. Free and pretty easy to use. :wink:

ive upload the scene file to:
