Light Shadow Space: Architectural Rendering with Cinema 4D
by Horst Sondermann
Springer
The visualization of light in space and its effect on model cubature and scenery is one of the great challenges in architectural rendering. This is a decisive reason for the use of 3D tools both for architecture offices and students. This volume features a number of exercises that enable the reader to learn how to light architecture models correctly. Complete virtual 3D scenarios are included that allow for the step-by-step construction of a lighting set up with the help of CINEMA 4D R10.5 Studio Bundle software that creates a realistic spatial impression. The tutorials are complemented by a chapter on the use of CINEMA 4D R10.5 Studio Bundle and importing CAD models and light sources as well as shadow types, which have been revised and expanded in the 9.5 and 10 version.
Rhino Bundle Rated Great Value, Superb Ability
Rating:
Reviewer: Jonas Callewaert
 
Review: “Novedge has the best price, and Rhinoceros and its sister products are simply amazing! The fact that McNeel is worker-owned, listens to its users, has the best licensing policy of any proprietary software, offers 24 hour support, and works so well with all other software sets it apart. Having been a beta tester since Rhinoceros was just an add-on to Autocad called Accumodel and eagerly awaiting the release of the V5 WIP gives me a long history with this brand, and employing it in the high-end architectural production environment currently to do everything from conceptual design through construction documents makes me and my clients very satisfied, saving TONS of money and hastle. 1st sale matters.”
Interview with Evan Yares
Selected post from Novedge blog
Evan C. Yares is a well-known figure in the CAD world. He has the drive and vision to put himself in the right spot in order to maximize his influence on the CAD community and its products. He has opinions and is not afraid to share them, even when this means taking the risk of making a few enemies in some powerful corporations. His popular blog openly discusses critical topics, and his long advocacy for greater CAD interoperability was publicly recognized by the CAD Society that awarded Evan with the prestigious 2008 Joe Greco Community Award. After exchanging opinions with Evan about several CAD topics, I asked him for an interview.
