I need assistance with creating a Luxology Environment.
My final deliverable to the client should be a movie flythrough of their site as it progresses yearly.
I need to provide the client with progress images by the end of the week and so far I have had no luck.
What I have done so far is drape my *.ECW image files onto my exaggerated survey triangles, assigned my material to my soilcrete dumps, drawn my flight path. What is still required from me is to add trees, mine structures and of course my sky. I have scoured the internet and Bentleys Community Forum to find any information regarding Luxology environment I have read up on it and still have had no luck actually creating my environment.
Can anyone possible provide me with steps to follow to set up my environment or assist me personally?
Thanks so much
Megan Loock
Hi Megan,
The post near the top of the forum titled "Visualization PDF" has a link to a draft document covering the latest MicroStation visualization features including the Luxology features. Here's a link to the post.
The main section on Environment setting starts on page 154, although there is valuable information sprinkled throughout the pdf.
Hope this helps,
Ron
I wrote this before we had a separate layer for indirect but it still should be useful.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the file. I did manage to stumble upon that file and I have read through it. Is it possible to create the realistic view (sun, blue sky, clouds and trees) as backdrop with my draped image together with my fly through?
I have inserted a screen grab of my site. Could you possible guide me in the right direction to add the realistic environment?
