The visualization of light in space, its effect on model cubature
and scenery, is one of the great challenges in architectural
rendering. This is a decisive reason for the use of 3D tools – both
for architecture offices and students. This volume features a
number of exercises that enable the reader to learn how to light
architecture models correctly. Complete virtual 3D scenarios are
included that allow for the step-by-step construction of a lighting
set up with the help of Cinema 4D® software that creates a
realistic spatial impression. The tutorials are complemented by a
chapter on the use of Cinema 4D®, importing CAD models and light
sources as well as shadow types, which have been revised and
expanded in the 9.5 and 10 version.
