HD Architectural 2014 question from a newbie
Hi all,
I just upgraded from Home Designer Suite 9.0 to Architectural 2014 and it is so cool!!!
However, when I take a picture with the full or floor camera in my old plans now, they render WAY too bright, but only sometimes.
For instance, I opened a plan I had generated using suite in architectural and when I took a picture from inside a room, it rendered so bright it was useless to look at; but when I took the picture technically from another room looking into the same room, it rendered the brightness correctly.
Not sure if I'm making sense but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

Under the menu 3D > 3D Settings... > Lighting Options. Reduce your ambient interior lighting (I usually go between 10% - 18% depending on how I intend to light the room)

Jon, if this works for me (and my bleached out, sometimes OVER-shadowed (ghosty/streaky) finals with shadows), this will be the singularly BEST tip I've read/received on lighting adjustments to make to create decent 3D renderings with shadows. I will send you a box of chocolates!
Thanks,
