What you'll learn

In this set of tutorials we'll learn how to set up and render an exterior night scene in Revit. We'll get started by adjusting the lighting settings for an external environment with artificial light only. Once we've set the scene we'll explore how to use exterior elements to give the scene a more realistic look and feel. From there, we'll start adding lighting to the interior and also exterior of the model. We'll explore a few lighting tips and techniques that can help elements within your scene glow and pop. By the end of this training you'll be able to work with exterior lighting to design a realistic looking scene with the feel you're trying to replicate. Software required: Revit 2014.
