ARCHICAD Rendering Settings for Interior Daylight Scene Firstly, we are going to speak about daylight renders and the right setting of the sun, and afterwards, a bit complicated but more than interesting – night scenes.
Now, we are coming straight to the point, how to make a stunning interior architectural rendering.
If you need to grow your library we recommend you to check out our free “OpenArchiVIZpack” and grab a nice collection of 60 cutout trees, plants and persons as well as tileable textures and sky background images for your next architecture visualization project You can use the graphics for your private as well as for your commercial projects! So now excuse to be not prepared for the next rendering job ?
Undoubtedly, this is an amazing software where you are able to make a great interior scene to present your design and creativity, but if you really want something stunning you should use some tricks – external resources for materials, textures and objects. Use external materials, textures and objects – It is important to say that ARCHICAD is a BIM software, which purpose is to make architectural projects which are ready to be built, not primarily to make beautiful architecture visualization.Skills to do this in the ARCHICAD will be explained in a more detailed way later in this tutorial. However, you should always bear in mind that playing with lights (whether natural or artificial) is actually what makes a great render differ from the one which is not so good. Regard all the lights in the scene – There is a huge difference between doing a daylight render and the night time one.Your rendering should transport your idea and not confuse. Choose colors and materials wisely, so anyone can distinguish the ambient of the interior.
Choosing of colors – Sometimes, the wrong colors can make our work seem incomplete or sometimes the hours and hours of working are just invisible.Reconsider things like reflection, patterns of the surfaces, density, transparency etc. Analyze the nature of the materials you are going to use – rendering machines are trying to simulate reality, accordingly they are imitating their presence in certain situation. You have to think about what you want to show and present. Think about the scene – This may sound naive, but this first step has a huge impact on your future work.Therefore, here are some basic tips before starting with the render settings:
These versions are not so complicated to use, even if you are not skilled BIM modeler, and have a settings tool which is easy to use and modify.įirstly, it is important to speak about some general rules, which are not directly connected to the direct render setting, but still make a huge impact on the final product. We are using the latest versions (18 or 19) of ARCHICAD for rendering here. In this archicad tutorial we want to take a look at the 3D modelling and rendering software by Graphisoft and which settings can be used to create architecture visualization of a day and a night time interior scenery.
