Cannot get the sunlight to pass through
Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 12:40 pm
Hi, I cannot get the sunlight to pass through a window glass. The glass have 1cm thickness and I applied architectural realistic common glass to it, having the default parameters except the color which I want to have it light gray.
In the attached export skp image you will see that it has a shadow, I tried to render it using easy 9 or even 10 but the shadow is not showing so I stopped the rendering.
I even tried to increase the sky brightness and sun intensity from the default values to gain sunlight inside the room, but shows nothing. Does it have to do with the Google Sketchup I'm using? coz I'm using the free version 8.
What steps did I missed? Thanks and looking forward for the help of generous TWR members.
oh by the way, what causes the image of the trees outside the windows to have different results from the 2 images?.
