How to render the lighting of the model?

  • Lights from Revit are exported to VIMtrek Producer
  • To render the lights in VIMtrek Producer select "Tools/Light Maps", adjust the settings and check "Bake local lights" and then click "Build light maps"

Do i need to set interior or exterior light? How about sun and electric lighting?

  • The interior and exterior electric lights from Revit are exported to VIMtrek Producer
  • The sun (and moon) are automatically generated in VIMtrek Producer
  • To adjust the sun and moon settings select "Tools/Sun Settings"


Do i need to create interior lightsources the maintain a certain light intensity in the interior model?

  • Interior spaces will have some light due to ambient light settings that are built into VIMtrek Producer
  • Night time scenes where lights have not been rendered will produce a dark scene, but the spaces will have some ambient light
