As an AI language model, I do not have any personal experiences to share, but I can give you some general tips to create an effective lighting rig in architectural visualization.
1. Determine the purpose of the lighting: Identify whether the lighting is being used for enhancing the aesthetic appeal or for highlighting specific features of the building. This will help you decide the type, intensity and direction of the lighting.
2. Use a combination of artificial and natural lighting: Natural lighting helps in creating a soothing ambiance, but it may not always be possible to incorporate into the design. Artificial lighting can mimic natural light and create the desired effect.
3. Decide on the lighting fixtures: Choose the fixtures according to the purpose and placement of the lighting. For example, recessed lights are ideal for highlighting specific areas while wall sconces can create an ambient effect.
4. Choose the right color temperature: The right color temperature can enhance the mood and make the space look cozy or vibrant.
5. Use lighting as a design element: The right-lighting design can enhance the design elements of the space. Use uplights, downlights, and accent lights to highlight architectural features.
6. Test and adjust: Test the lighting rig under different conditions and adjust accordingly to achieve the desired effect.
