Lost in lights!
-
Hello,
I'm trying to build a model of the imterior of a car park. I have build floor, walls, ceiling and, using the Podium plug in, added a few lights.. however once I render I basically get a fully black image!
See attached the model as seen in sketchup (left) and as rendered (right). I assume I'm missing something in the way sketchup deals with ambient light once indoors.
For now, I have used Shadow settings: 1:49 PM, light slider to 85, dark slier to 67 and ticked "use sun for shading" (although I'm unsure it has any impact indoors).
I found on the internet this :

It adviced to select my ceiling and deselect the Cast Shadows check box in the Entity box, so sun would get in the room, as if there would be no ceiling...unfortunately it doesn't work at all. My rendering remain as fully dark as before...Did I miss something? Thanks in advance for you advice!
Best

Hi Martin,
Where is that attachment?
(I do not think that adjusting the SU shadows like that would have any effect on the rendered image however).
Did you also try the Podium forums? Though many members use Podium here, that's the "real" thing for Podium...

Hi Martin, I am a Podium user and I agree with Gaieus that you
should look to the Podium forum for help.The issues you are experiencing sound render related not sketchup related.
When you post your question at the Podium forum give as much
info as possibleie podium version your using, preset used, image of render, etc.
Also If you are new to podium, check out the lighting and other tutorials found
at the Podium forum.Good luck, hope to see your post.
