Rendering

NB. Screen print is for quick rendering

Setup - Camera - Crop Size (ie. no scale)
Width A3 (usually) = 380m but make slightly bigger eg. 500mm and "lock scale" and then shrink down to size on the sheet to make the image crisper.

View - Render - Background - Style - Image

Settings

• Render - Adjust Exposure - white point, take this to 5, saturation - 1:36

NB. Revit and 3DSMax uses the same materials library

• Set up the camera first (Setup), in plan view
• reflections - eg. for windows, tip is to create a wall with a photo of what you want reflected and set the camera at a 45 degree angle to this so is reflected in the window...best if the sun is behind the camera

GD: Settings to use

• Background gradient
• Shadow - ambient
• Sun intensity - 70
• Ambient light - 30
• Don't go lower than 150 DPI for final printing

Lighting

• Studio lights - these have no structures associated so are used for pure light source
• if rendering in daylight with lights, need the light to be very bright eg. 3x stronger than sunlight (20000W)
• if wanting a night render, use 'artificial lighting' only
• put soft lights inside...can group lights to apply same properties to a whole group, or turn a whole group off and on
