What is the best lighting catalog to use?  I am using Redway3d engine and the lighting looks terrible.  Any tips?  Sun, Scene, Image or Ceiling light?

I was hoping there was a catalog with different pots, pendants exc.

Hi Jeremy,

HERE is an article on how to use the lighting effects in the program.

HERE is an article on where to find lighting fixtures in the program.

When using the recessed spot lighting from the ROOM_FUR catalog, you can manipulate the amount of light that the fixture produces and the color of the light that the fixture produces. Add a SPOT.RECESSED to your design and right click on it and go to Light Properties. From here you can change the color that the fixture produces. Once you do that, you can then go to the fixtures attributes and variables. In Variables, you can change the lights intensity and open the Lights Opening (the higher the number, the further the light will be distributed). HERE is a video to also demonstrate this

HERE is an article to show you how to manipulate the lighting coming from your windows.

You can also download and install the Lighting Wizard to test it out and see if it to your liking. You can find the lighting wizard on either 2020spaces.com or 2020.net. From these two locations, you can also find Task Lighting.

HERE is an article on how to activate the Lighting Wizard.

HERE and HERE are other articles related to the Lighting Wizard.

Hope all this helps!

The article listed for lighting is for V11.  Is there anything more current for V13?  The Cloud items are greatly lacking.

I tried the Sensio Lighting Wizard as well, but it only offers under cabinet lighting for actual wall cabinets.  It doesn’t recognize open wall cabinets or furniture bookshelves.   I was hoping for some vertical strips for open bookcases.

The drop lights and bathroom vanity lights are also very outdated  shapes and when they’re on, they wash out the drawing and make a fuzzy halo effect.

Hi Susan,

The article was initially created in the version 11 but is still used for versions 12 and 13. If you search in your Local Browser, you will find the ROOM_FUR catalog where you have ‘Lighting Fixtures’ available to use. You can find recessed lighting, suspended lighting, strip lighting (horizontal and vertical strips).. as well as other lighting.

The articles related to the Lighting Wizard apply in version 12 as well as version 13. When you sign into your ‘2020 Account’ on 2020spaces.com, you can then go to ‘Downloads and Catalogs’ where you can find the lighting wizard for all 3 versions. Download the one you need for the version you have and install it to the program. Once done, the lighting wizard will be able to provide you with above wall cabinet lighting, under cabinet lighting, toe kick lighting, and if you have glass doors on the wall cabinets, it will attempt to add lighting in the cabinet.

You can also find other lights in the cloud. Search in ‘2020 Decorative Items’ catalog, go to the ‘Lighting’ category, and look for the light you would like to use.

Regards,

Kris
