Lightening Effect in Fusion 360.

[rushabhthakkar_910]

Hello Everyone…

I would like to know how you guys add Lights in your Image…?

What I do is choose and Apply the Light Appearance on the Body/Component that is to be looked like it is reflecting Light or is a Bulb.

And than choose the option of Decal. This takes time to bring up the Lightening Effect and takes Iterations to move forward to a more clear Picture as time passes by.

So, is there any easier way, or less time consuming way by which this effect can be brought while capturing Images…?

EXAMPLE :-

Before Decal

                                                                                                                                          After Decal

So, any easier way to get this done…?
Because often this takes time to get clearer. Like say the After Ones took 2-3 Hrs to get this Clearer…

And Still not that clear. I have seen Members add Lights and still get a clear Image…

So, what’s the trick behind this…?

I must first ask: What is the purpose for your renders?

Is there a business purpose, or do you do those for your own enjoyment and learning?

While it is fairly normal that one goes through a number of iterations to get the lighting right, I personally would not attempt to do interior renders with Fusion 360. People have demonstrated that this can be done, and for quick visualizations might be OK.

For realistic, higher-quality renders I personally would not do this with Fusion 360, because it simply lacks the features and speed of a more mature render engine, which might support local GPU rendering.

Hi @TrippyLighting,

No Sir. I am a Student, and not connected with any Business or Freelance things...

And this Design was made for a Design Challenge that took place in Autodesk Ambassador Hub. 

And the images shown above are just examples... I personally don't design much or maybe ONCE (Because the Challenge demanded) designed interiors ..

I usually take part in such Design Challenges.... And many of them require Lights... And to Beautify the Renderings, I am using the Decal Option available in Fusion 360. 

I am pretty much or Very Very Happy with the Lightening Effect I am getting... 

But, this usually takes hours (depending on the Design) to get a clear image... That too hours for capturing 1 image...

And to explain the Deign, I need atleast 4-5 if it's not very complicated....

Another Example..

DecalDecal

Designed an Automobile... And added Lights..... So, Mostly every design need a bit of Lightening effect.....

So, Any easy way to go forward...? Or use another Autodesk Software to do so...?

I believe there is not much you can do to speed up these renders if you work with Fusion 360's internal render engine.

Fusion 360 emissive-materials light sources are slow and very limited.

The main light sources Fusion 360 works with are HDRIs an the sporadic emissive material her or there.

I would also think that these decals are "expensive" light sources.

If you do like rendering things I'd urge you to check out Blender and its internal render Engine Cycles.
Or you can investigate LuxCore a free unbiased render engine.

The only other render engine that offers a plugin directly for Fusion 360 is Keyshot, but it is pretty expensive.
