From: bob@worldesign.com Subject: SOFTWARE: Lightscape, from Graphics Software Date: Sun, 8 Aug 93 14:25:20 -0700 One of the products shown at SIGGRAPH which perhaps merits attention is Lightscape, a software for producing realistic lighting effects in three-dimensional interior simulations. According to Newsbytes, on Clarinet, "Based on a technique known as radiosity, Lightscape offers visualizations of lighting effects such as soft shadows and color bleeding to produce more realistic views." The user designates the location of lightbulbs, lighting fixtures, windows, outdoor lighting conditions, etc., and the software lights up the interior for a persuasive walkthrough. Not cheap, at $7,500. This is for professionals. Which hopefully, more of us will become! Beta release only, for Unix machines. Does anyone know more about this? Address, phone, email, etc.?
