To Adjust Render Settings to Render Images in Effects Manager
-
Create and apply a Saved View so that the desired portion of the design is always displayed and the view attributes are as desired.
- Make the desired settings in the Environment Manager dialog.
- Select the desired light settings from the defined light setups in the Light Manager dialog.
-
(Optional) Create named groups for lights sources.
This will reduce the number of images to be rendered.
- Select a render setup and make changes for the desired settings in Render Setup Manager dialog. Change the Indirect Caustics option to Both. Having Indirect Caustics set to None will prevent any indirect light from passing through the windows. In most interior renderings where light passes through glass you will want to have at a minimum Refractive Caustics set so that indirect light will pass through the glass.
- Open the Material Editor dialog and change the glow value for any glow material to zero. You need to turn off all glow materials that are assigned to any model in the opened file to prevent rendering of a black image.
- Click the Render Image Set icon in the Effects Manager dialog to render the light images with your adjustments.
