LightWorks Textures and Rendering Environment

Dwight Atkinson put the Lightworks rendering engine under the microscope in his book Lightworks in ArchiCAD. The book is written in what is almost lab notes fashion, an exposition of experimentation with every facet of the tool. This material was developed and refined in a one day seminar that has been delivered in cities around the World.

Written originally for ArchiCAD version 9, the content of What You Need to Know is still germane to ArchiCAD 10. Supplementary material released online to his readers has been reorganized by Andy Thomson, an ArchiCAD user in Toronto.

ACE Lightworks Materials 1.1 is the result and is available as an Atkinson-sanctioned download with content reorganized for usability. It is available here.

The Book is a reference resource primarily for ArchiCAD users, but Atkinson's approach to rendering and composition in the digital age should be read by anyone trying to create digital visualizations. Get it directly from the author here. $95USD
