Strange Lighting Reflections

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with lighting reflections on refrigerator blocks in my D5 Render project, and I’m looking for advice.

Here’s my workflow and the problem:

  1. I work in Revit, where the refrigerator blocks are 3D models from AutoCAD linked into the Revit model.
  2. To improve the lighting, I add strip lights inside the refrigerators and at the base of the units.
  3. However, when rendering in D5, the light appears to distort or deform, creating a strange effect, as shown in the attached image.
  4. The issue persists even when exporting the render at higher resolutions, although it becomes slightly less noticeable.

I’ve tried:

  • Removing the refrigerator blocks from Revit and importing them independently into D5 using other methods (FBX, SKP, etc.), but the problem remains.
  • Testing variations in material and lighting configurations.

Has anyone experienced similar issues when working with imported geometry from Revit? Could it be related to material reflections, geometry accuracy, or how D5 handles linked models?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
