Light Studio

Just making note that light studio is being a bit temper mental, as everytime we try to do anything it crashes, could be because alot of students using it i.e. bbsc 303 and lighting design. Have reduced the model down to one room but still appears to crash everytime we assign the lightstudio renderer.

Our mental ray images on the other hand are bank with great reflections of the blob which has taken the last week to get the materials just right. We created a bitmap material which we added to one surface then duplicated the facade and added another secret layer of reflective and transparent surface to get the mad reflections.

Why does lightstudio hate me?

Has anyone figured out how to add bitmaps to materials in LightStudio? Is it possible?
Cheers

Materials update

Well today we applied rough surfaces to throughout the building; from here the plan is to map and create bump surfaces where needed; hopefully get a look at some rough renders soon.

Havn't yet checked that the model works in lightstudio but we have faith; mental ray worked fine which was great. We are having a few problems applying mental ray materials to families that we have created with mutliple surface finishes.

A blog for recording 3D modelling of daylit buildings. Please ensure blog is only used for relevant entries AND that ALL images and quotes are attributed to their source.

Please be aware: blog entries are the responsibility of the students who produce them. The content is proscribed in the course description. Any content outside this prescription is the sole responsibility of the student involved. By making entries in this blog, you agree to these terms and conditions.

All material copied from other sources posted here MUST be attributed to its source, and should not be an inappropriate use of the source material. Thus pictures copied from elsewhere, and not your own renders should be of a small size and not linked to a larger version of the image, unless that link takes people to the source. Only a small percentage of the total original work should be copied in such a manner. The idea is to be illustrative of the nature and content of the material collected - with a reference perhaps to the Amazon web site to purchase the reference. Those who wish to understand the meaning in this context of 'fair use' could do worse than read the Wikipedia article (last accessed March 31 2009) on this topic. The Copyright Act 1994 is what we should all be cogniscent of when publishing material on our web pages or in this blog. The purpose of placing copies of pictures or other materials is to format shift sufficient of the information to make the case or point in the blog. It should not be possible to use the pictures or text that you quote to avoid buying or otherwise obtaining the copyright material. Noted in the lectures on 17th March and 28th April 2009: Using labels to group items under the modelling organisation headings like:

Establishing Modelling Standards;
Sources of Model Dimensions;
Standards for the Sharing of Data;
File Naming Conventions;
Backup Policies;
Name and blog/web page location of Most Recent, (up-to-date) CAD File;
Our Group Name;
File Names and Locations of Material Images;

and so on, makes completion of the web report on the modelling process far easier.
