Creating Layer BackgroundsCreating Layer BackgroundsWith the Renderworks product, backgrounds can be added to create a more realistic drawing. Backgrounds, such as clouds, a color or color gradient, or an imported image or panorama, are applied on a per-layer basis. A physical sky background can be combined with a heliodon (Vectorworks Design Series required) to create a realistic sky, correct in appearance for the time of day. In addition, a special lit fog effect can add the illusion of shafts of light in fog (point or spot light required).
Renderworks backgrounds are resources that are created and displayed in the Resource Browser and are saved with the file (default content is automatically imported into the file at the point of use, and displays in the Resource Browser); see Resource Libraries. Several Renderworks styles make use of backgrounds.
