Steps with LED strip lighting under handrail (stairs / stairway)

Post by Fletch » Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:08 pm

Here's my quick WIP of this image someone shared here recently. This scene took me about an hour, maybe two, from start to finish. :!: MUST USE Twilight Render V 2.15.3 or later.

when I open your scene, the render is complete dark, even when I change the backgrundsettings.

It works for me very well, when I export the model in a new file

Did you download and install the latest version of Twilight Render? My guess is that it's black because you have an older version of Twilight Render, and this is using the new ACES tone mapping algorithm. ;)

The light strip should be a little wider according to your photo example, set to 500 watts and 13 lm/w .
Try a little "bloom" to get the "glow".
skippy attached. ;)

it needs to be balanced with the light in the scene and the post-pro settings used.

I like such a simple furniture system. The pants shelf is pulled out? I never would have thought of that. What are the profiles with the LED system here?
