Time to build: 45-60 minutes Time to calculate: ~15 minutes Quality Setting: Fast Settings Rendering: Radiosity
Note: All geometry imported via DWG (time required to orient surfaces properly), used GENESYS's block replace tool to quickly swap existing pole blocks with real luminaires / poles, water material available in GENESYS's material library
Address Facade
Time to build: 45-60 minutes Time to calculate: ~1 minute Quality Setting: Standard Settings Rendering: Hybrid
Note: Plant geometry imported, Address numbers created in GENESYS using extrude tools.
Pool Lighting I
Time to build: 45-60 minutes Time to calculate: 12-15 minutes Quality Setting: Fast Settings Rendering: Radiosity
Note: Tree / Chair geometry imported. Background image applied. All other geometry and materials created in GENESYS.
Pool Lighting II
Time to build: 45-60 minutes Time to calculate: ~2.5 hours Quality Setting: Fast Basic Settings Rendering: Radiosity
Note: Highly detailed pool geometry imported via STL model.
Parthenon
Time to build: 5-10 minutes Time to calculate: ~10 minutes Quality Setting: Fast Settings Rendering: Hybrid
Note: All geometry imported via DWG (time required to orient surfaces properly), recessed lighting added via array tool, three floodlights added, all surfaces modeled as polished white marble
Theatre
Time to build: 30-45 minutes Time to calculate: 1.5 minutes Quality Setting: Fast Settings Rendering: Hybrid
Note: Theatre geometry imported via DWG (time required to orient surfaces properly), recessed lights and pole-mounted floodlights added, all materials added in GENESYS, notice shadow of 'B' on the left wall
Art Museum at Night
Time to build: 45 minutes Time to calculate: 40 seconds Quality Setting: High Rendering: Radiosity
Notes: Exterior shot with wet concrete in the foreground, glass walls, all geometry created in GENESYS.
