Tip of the month! April: Daylight feature

This month, in line with the weather improvements, we will help you bring a little sunshine into your busy days. Feature "Daylight" is replacement for manually inserting sunlight objects. Also simplified is finding the correct positioning and angle, making beautiful renderings just that little easier.

To start the feature just look under the "View" tab and select "Daylight". A window will pop up allowing you to adjust a number of features. To use the new "Sunlight" system just tick the box. Now you will see the sun appear in your plan and using the "Axonometric" screen to adjust positioning is probably the easiest. Simply use drag and drop to either rotate the circle compass, to change the angle of the arc or move the sun along the arc. At the same time set the presentation mode of your desired camera view in "Perspective" screen to "Virtual Reality" so that you can see the shadow effects of your changes. When you are happy with the settings, simply close the "Daylight" window to proceed.

 When you are ready, render your desired image and feel free to go back and experiment with different "Daylight" settings.

Now you can turn even the rainiest day into a BBQ opportunity. Have a go yourselves!
