is it possible to find out the reaction of a material to light in autocad?
squareknees posted a topic in AutoCAD 3D Modelling & Rendering
I have a 1/2" thick 60" long and 60" tall piece of glass that were are lighting from the bottom edge with LED lights. to hold the piece of glass up we need something that will not interfere with the light too much but is strong enough to hold up that size of glass up since it is on a half wall. I know that the finishing on the edge of the glass can change the results, but is it possible to create a light source 'similar as it is to be build' and render the image to see what would happen? I wanted to see if there would be a shadow in the glass if there is a metal plate in 4 locations along the bottom or if we used a metal sheet with diamond openings how much of a shadow would that cause? I know that you can manipulate the reaction of the light on a surface to make it look how you want. Is it possible to add light to a polished edge of glass to see how the light would react with the light rays bouncing through the material? thanks for all your help
