Tutorial 3 in the Basics of Twilight Render V2 Series
The render 'Environment' represents the sun and sky that create the background and, in most cases, the ambient lighting for your scene. Choosing the right environment settings can both improve your render speed and dramatically increase the realism of your scene. Twilight Render supports a variety of background / sky settings as well as easy-to-use sun controls. |
There are multiple background styles that can be chosen for your render. Each has unique characteristics and it's important to understand the differences.
|
Sometimes your background image doesn't line up with your scene. Perhaps you want a more interesting treeline behind your scene, or to line up the image's sun glow with your scene's sun. Twilight Render provides the ability to rotate the background image.
|
The position of the sun is important for realistically representing the time of day. SketchUp provides controls to set both the date and the time of day. Twilight Render uses this time information directly to set the sun position.
