archiCAD - lights

En está página dan el siguiente consejo como punto de partida:


For the hanging light (lamps) above the bar I'd use "light cone down".
-25% power (for a start)
-light yellow (with a little bit of gray)
-angle falloff 0.2
-distance falloff 0.5
-light stops - far under the floor






Here's some more:
- there is a rule "less light sources, more control of the scene"
- try to tweak just one light, manipulating max two parameters at the time. When ready than multiply..
The best results are easy to miss because of the not very intuitive parameter control.
- for the downlights I use wide "outer lightcone angle" like 120-160 plus >0.2 angle falloff, this way you avoid burn spot on the floor. Light should flood the room not burn places, eventhough interior lights in AC are hard to enslave. What I personally missing is something like "invert skydome light", because "general light source" simply does not do the job.
