ahoy!!! got a little problem... got this 3d rendered dwg. i cant figure where to set the sky, i tried setting it to the view and post my skies but if i render it, all the shaded cast of shadows turns black.

 

any help will be gladly appreciated, thanks in advance.:oops:

I believe the sky is set in the "background". You can set a background from the View Manager.

The best way is you should need to save your perspective view.To do set the sky in model space is...

type in command line ...skystatus :0 (skyoff)

: 1 (sky background)

: 2 (sky background and illumination) you can choice as you want

Then you will need to set sky setting from your save view ... "V" enter..

you will see view manager dialog box and select your save view then

select sun & sky from background drop down list

and adjust sky setting from

sun & sky background dialog box according to

model view sky setting.

These two setting will help you that can get right setting of sun or sky to your render result.

If you will need custom sky,you can select image from background drop down list of save view manager dialog box.

you can also go to

 

View --> Render --> Light -->Sky Properties

 

this will bring up a palette for the sun and sky properties. you can set your time, intensity and all the other stuff from that palette. Make sure your lightingunits is set to 1 or 2, and you should be set. Check out the geographic location settings as well.

:oops:guys... see the difference between these two pics... the other is created with sky backdrop but the cast shadows were too dark, unlike on the other pic, it had no sky but the shadows it cast was still visible. what i would like to happen is to come up with a sky bakdrop and shaded part of the structure to be visible... is it possible to combine these 2 drawing that each others negative aspect shall be remove?

are you changing anything with the sun position. light or shadows settings between the two?

Posted

i did not change the sun angle, illumination, time, country,... for you guys too see the difference, the only thing i change is the view, sky properties to be OFF, SKY BACKGROUND AND SKY BACKGROUND AND ILLUMINATION.

Posted

you should have sky to be on, with background and illumination. Change your geographic location and sun angle so that you get the desired shadows. If you need the sun to be more intense, bring up the numbers, you can do the same to the background. Dont change the color of the sky, the color that is default is very close to what is out there.

 

The sky background and illumination adds more scattered light that has been affected by the sky in general.

 

 

I usually do not use background pictures, it is very hard to get the light to match between them.

 

 

these are the images I get with it turned on.

:geek:... the main concern here is the difference of the shadow that is being cast on the structure.... i have used the image so that you guys have an idea on what my problem is... ( i know that sky image is not appropriate but sometimes good minds comes from silly ideas).
