away as you move towards the top of the window.

Hi Alex, just want to thank you for all your nice post. I have been
following your blog for about 6 months and I just defended my
thesis work last week successfully. It turned out to be good. I
learned a lot from your blog and it is very professional! Thanks
again.

Alex,
Thanks for the STEP BY STEP instructions, especially on this last
post with window lighting and reflections. Very useful and easy to
follow!

good job
what resolution do you get the renders?

Alex, just curious what you used for lights in the tower in
krykethea? they do not seem like omni lights or spot lights?
thanks for the tutorial, always looking for ways to cut down render
time

@ Nick,
I place simple rectangles throughout the building in Sketchup.
Then I paint them a color (doesn't matter which color). Then in
Kerkythea, I tell that color to emit light which is done under the
material editor. I find this route much easier and much faster than
trying to place lights in Kerkythea.

@Hugo,
I render everything at the same time typically.
@Alfie,
Thanks for following!

Alex, great tutorial! Also nice to see a tutorial which explains why,
and not just how, one makes the changes.
One question. What creates the shadows of people on the
pavement (sidewalk) in the original render?
Cheers.....Scotty
