Guide to Rendering (Day)Light

This is a step by step guide to using digital models to predict light levels inside buildings under varying daylight conditions. It defines the state of the art in the Digitl Craft of light simulation.

Building Good Digital Models for (Day)Light Rendering

A summary of the basics of making a digital model of the geometrical layout of the building to be rendered:
Avoid digital building models with paper-thin walls that meet along a single edge or one where any building element such as floors and ceilings are simple planes, because such models can develop “light leaks” along these edges. To repair a model so these light leaks do not occur:

• Make sure floors and ceilings have thickness.
