Hello everyone!
I just started using maxwell with archicad after a several year hiatus from using Vray with Rhino.
I'm trying to render an interior scene of an apartment apparently lite only by sunlight.
In order to see the sky outside, I lowered the iso and raised the shutter speed. This leads to a dark interior which I tried to illuminate with artificial hidden light.
To avoid seeing weird shadow from the furniture, I decided to place light planes in front of the windows, to complement sunlight.
My problem is that if I hide these light planes from GI, they don't cast their light, but if I don't hide them, they block the incoming sunlight.
I got the idea from this video , where the panel still adds light when hidden from GI.
Am I doing something wrong? I used this material for my light planes.
Thank you in advance!
