Bowl.Spliffson Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was wondering if someone could help me out. I'm trying to change the Color of the sky in the "adjust Sun & Sky Backgroun" dialog box. But it seems to be locked on a greyish colour. I want to get a more blue sky affect. If anyone could help me out let me know. Thanks alot.

papagyi Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 You can't change this when your "lightingunits " value is 1 or 2! This means you already use Indirect illumination method for rendering! If you want to change,you must set to "lightingunits " value to "0". This means you already use Generic lights for rendering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtrasi Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 The color of the sky is not realistic, I can't believe you cannot chenga it if you use "rwalistic" lights (photometric). Does somebody know a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtrasi Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Clouds could be appreciated, but basically all I need is a blue sky instead of that "gray/green/pale blue/don't know what" sky. If I don't use photometric sun (say I set lightingunits to 0) it's not realistic because I don't see global illumination (sun and sky seem to be on, but it's all dark where I have indirect light; I can't figure out how to actually activate the sky). I selected my geographic position (Italy/Rome) and august at 1 o'clock, and I assure you that in that period here we have a marvellous blue sky... Could you help me?

Could you help me? for exterior scene, if you want a sky with clouds the best you can do is to do it in photo editing software like photoshop / gimp / corel. if you have photoshop tell me so I can show you how to do it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I agree with Arjun. I always do my skies and backgrounds in Photoshop. It's very quick and easy once you know how. But, for rendering in Autocad, you might be interested in this: http://www.dscohn.com/AU/handouts/GD115-2%20Rendering%20part%202-DOC.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtrasi Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks all folks! I found those articles very interesting. And I'll try to use Photoshop for the sky: if it's the best solution, I think I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato - BR Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have a doubt related to this topic. Could someone please explain why in my model is locked the box "type", on "adjust sun and sky background" window, so I cannot preview the changes I would like to make. The tips above did not help.

Cad64 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Can you provide some more detail about the problem? Maybe even a screenshot to help us understand what's happening? I'm not sure I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You must be in PERSPECTIVE viewing mode for this to be enabled. Type PERSPECTIVE and set it to 1 and it will now be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato - BR Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It is already in PERSPECTIVE mode (1) but the box is not available. I tried several commands but did not succeed. Remark: the drawing is a model originally produced in ACAD 2012v. Could some settings be in conflict / blocked for ACAD 2015v ? Thank you for your support.

tzframpton Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Type SUNPROPERTIES instead of BACKGROUND. In Sun Properties, can you turn Status to ON and Status of Sky Background & Illumination to ON? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 On the Sun Properties panel look for the heading Sky Properties. It's possible Status is set to "Sky Off". Reset it. Visualize tab > Sun & Location panel > Sun Properties click on the arrow to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato - BR Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The status is “sky background and illumination”. Any of the three options releases “type” box. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
