All lights can be placed with the easy 2-Click System SPOT LIGHTĪ spot light functions similarly to a spot light in real life and provides a very direct source of light. In addition to lights, this window also allows you to add sound sources and proxies to your model. There are five different lights you can add Spot lights Sphere lights Rectangular lights Disk lights Linear lights Once you add a light, you will be able to fine-tune various settings for the individual lights in the Enscape window. This guide will provide an overview of the lighting options available via the Enscape objects window in SketchUp TYPES OF LIGHTS IN SKETCHUP All lights are not equal, and it is not surprising that many users are in the dark about which light best suits their needs. That’s it for this article! Hope you learned something new 🙂 If you have any questions or ideas, leave a comment below.Realistic lighting is crucial to creating not only realistic scenes but also to leaving a lasting impression and conveying a certain feeling.

Interactive Render is your best friend, use it to test light placements and intensity.

Test all your lights first before rendering to save time render a smaller resolution image with Material Override enabled and the Material Color set to Light Grey (the image may seem brighter, keep it that way because when you render with all you materials the scene may get darker).

NEVER use a pure white color as your light Color, instead use the value I provided at the beginning of this post or something even warmer.

If the Camera’s Exposure is making the scene too bright, use the Override Exposure settings in the Frame Buffer to adjust the scene to your liking.

If you’re using more than one light source in a single scene, use one of them as your main light source with a higher Intensity than the rest (usually this will be the biggest one in size).

To make your render more realistic, play around with your Camera’s Exposure value for a brighter image instead of amping up your light’s Intensity value.

All lights are either set at the Intensity of a 100 Watts (Radiant Power) or a similar equivelant.

All materials used are generic VRay materials.

All renders are raw unedited with no exposure modifications or filters (only a Highlight Burn value of 0).

Light Color values are set at RGB 247 – 239 – 225 (More realistic White).

So, in this guide we’ll be focusing on how to light up a model with every single lighting object VRay has to offer. In order to produce a good design render, one of the main skills you need is being able to add good lighting to your space. Your materials and objects will look weird not to mention all the weird shadows and highlight burns your final image will suffer from. You can’t render with bad lighting either. These are the 4 main lights I’ll be focusing on in this tutorial. In Vray, there are 4 types of lights that are most commonly used rectangle light, spot light, omni light, and dome light. I’m using the same scene from the Daylight render ( linked here), but with added light fixtures.

I already made a video on lighting up a night scene using ambient light which is perfect if you’re looking for a moody render ( Linked here), but this time we’re aiming for a bright and well lit interior. Since the video before this one was about lighting up a scene using daylight or Sunlight, it only makes sense if I made this video on lighting up a scene at night.
