Hi Mike
Just found your blog, some of your works look great. I’ve been using DIALux for 6 years now and wondered if you could help me??
Do you know if I can show the effects of internal lighting through a glazed wall into an exterior scene? Also do you know how to insert a hill with a steep gradient other than using multiple heights of ground elements?
Thanks in advance. Sammie

Hi Sammie,
Apologies for the late reply.
effects of internal lighting through a glazed wall into an exterior scene
~ This is is not possible in DLX 4.11, what can it do though is in reverse, light from outside to inside. This is done either using Daylight scene or Creating a Daylight Obstruction [Right-Click Room>Edit Daylight Obstruction]. However, DLX Evo offers very promising possibilities. Not only is that possible, light from room to exterior & vice-versa, DLX people also encourages users to try that!
insert a hill with a steep gradient other than using multiple heights of ground elements
~ DLX 4.11 nor Evo has no capability of creating objects as curve-like as mountains or hills. However, most CAD based programs like 3D Max and Sketchup are able to create terrain-like models. So as soon as you can create thhe terrain you like using a 3rd party modelling SW, try to save it as a *.3ds file that you can easily import in both DLX 4.11 & Evo. A word of caution, try to minimize too many polygons as it may bog down your operation/calculation works.
Hope this helps! keep in touch.
BR,
Mike

Thanks a lot Aislan.
Posting my works is sort of a hobby.
I can only do so during my free time of which I haven’t got a lot for a loooong time.
Hopefully I can get around it and bounce back with more of my DIALux Works.
And when I get back, it will be a blast!
Keep Learning!

Hello Mike,
You have really gone a long way in light designing! I am already a fan of your artistry and recipient of the gems of tips you are sharing in your blog. I came across your page incidentally, as I was looking for an answer from dialux forum users regarding evo 3.3. It failed to install in my laptop because it has detected insufficient graphics card hardware in my system, I am using an intel express 965 chipset with 358 mb. The only solution I can ask from dialux support is to provide me a dialux software download that will work with my current specs. Upgrading is far fetched nor buying a new laptop, bophuhu…

Best solution is to download and install earlier version of DIALux EVO. I cannot pinpoint which one but you can start at the earliest version. Doing this means you would loose some of the updates and fixes the latest EVO version offers but at least it will work on your PC.

Hallo Mr. Santigo,
After 3 years of interior designs (manufacturing sites, office, shops etc) I have been thrown in to the road and crossing lighting. Your interior projects are quite motivating to improve myself too.
Could you please give me a hint about the road crossings? I suppose they shall be done based on the cad plan of the roads? Straight roads are easy 🙂

My approach in Road Lighting is always per STandard.
I always need cross-section and I apply the width details when constructing in DIALux. Have you seen below:

Hi Chetan,
The IES file shall only give color according to what it is set to. Example, if its set to 4000K, it will simulate in DIALux in 4000K. However, to really make RGB simulation, you are required to do light scenes and for every light scene to declare the light color.

Hi, Mike!
Have you tried POV-RAY for DIALUX EVO? I find the Raytracer included in the software very limited and the final results are not always great. I would like to start using EVO more to show the conceptual ideas of the project to my clientes (most of them are famous architects and interior designers here in Mexico)…but the quality of the renderings still lacks of a certain “wow factor”.
