74 Vectorworks 2010 ProductsVectorworks Spotlight 2010 Getting Started GuideThis is a sample of Final Quality Renderworks Rendering. Youwill find that with more complex models, textures and lighting thatthe difference between Fast and Final becomes pretty dramatic.Generally Fast is used for your own pre-visualization and Finalfor presentations.Open GL and Renderworks each place an unseen light source inyour renderings if you have not already ‘lit’ the scene. Since wewill deal with lighting specifics next, just work with that source forthe moment.Radiosity Renderings are absolutely lovely, but they are time andprocessor intensive. I mention them here to make you aware of thisoption as an advanced concept, but not one for Getting Started.Layer BackgroundsIn our theatre space, we do no need a background, we have the architecture. However, if illustrating an isolated element or a tradeshow space or many other things, you might not like to have to create a world before you render a simple object. Or you might just notlike the basic white background that is the Renderworks Default.Let’s work in the file you created when you made the 10 3D objects.Choose to edit your design layer via either the Navigation Palette or the Organization Dialogue. Using your existing file, you have nowthe opportunity to create 10 different backgrounds. First note that in the Edit Design Layer Dialogue you can assign a background fromthe default backgrounds file. Once we create a few backgrounds, you can also assign a background to a layer by double clicking on thebackground icon in the Resource Browser.So, let’s make a few backgrounds. Exit out of anydialogues and go to the Resource Browser, right click andselect New Resource>New Renderworks Background.Let’s take a look at your options here. Obviously, you canname your background something that will readily remindyou of the content. There are also weather options, whichwe will avoid right now as they add considerably to therendering time. For the moment, be aware of the optionsand plan to go back and test them. Your test file is a goodplace for this kind of experimentation as you have minimalgeometry to slow the process. |
