Quote of the Day:
“In design, creating realistic lighting scenarios is key. Lighting not only illuminates but also shapes the perception of the environment, setting the tone for the desired outcome. Leveraging AI as a tool can enhance the process for lighting designers, offering the ability to simulate and analyse various lighting scenarios, leading to more informed and precise design decisions."  — Melike Özden

Whatever we are dreaming results, we can, before that, starting to design, understand with the AI, creating realistic lighting scenarios, whatever is that lighting is that you are planning? People can be that understand much more and they can zoom around inside. Whenever we are looking to that picture how we want, is that feel to that person? It is more or less. Is that creating that drama? Whenever you are showing that is the client. They are like oh, I want to do that. It's imagination about this thing. Can you do one more render about with this? So it is that much more taking time with the lighting system. If creating is a much more accurate, for example, if we can establish like light levels accurate with the lighting design, is that will be that much more understandable for the future.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes when we are thinking about some kind of super-super design, we have to know about what that result will become and whenever it is a result, it is like whatever we dream and result we can, before that starting to design, understand with that AI. So, creating realistic lighting scenarios, it's a main time when we are trying to explain something that our clients sometimes that showing is a random even won't be. That it is not enough because as a lighting especially, we want to show something but cladding or something, some mistake can be happen and whatever is that lighting is that you are planning. People can be that is understand much more and they can zoom around with insights and for that, if the AI is the sum of that, how we will do, how we can create things. I created some of the examples I asked that AI basic question, like room with the neoclassic styling and with the warm light chandelier above the bed and good artwork lighting. So only I give is this thing so you can use that. Extend this thing more. Maybe on the corner you want is some uh floor lamp or something else. You can use that uh extra and it's created as a some of that option to me, like it might be like that. It might be like this. So which kind of that emotion and which kind of is the touch feeling you are expectation from to ai? It is that different, different, that option creating to you. Or, for example, I give to ai again some living room, contemporary, nordic style and with the spotlighting during the night. So AI give to this result to me which is feeling much more in the Nordic, from the outside even, is that auroras we are seeing here and night time. That I give is the another image was about really night time and how that is the warm feeling which kind of that lighting effect is giving. So it is creating. It is, again, not so much accurate because when we are seeing to hear, some of the parties are not really integrated, but for the future, I think, is that it will be much, much more accurate. But again, that what we are, whenever we are looking to that picture, how we want, is that feel to that person. It is more or less is that creating that drama. But for the future, I believe, is that much more important for the lighting sector, because what's happening sometimes you are suggesting something, some product or some of that element and whenever you are showing that is the client. They are like oh, I want to do this imagination about this thing. Can you do one more render about this? So it is that much more taking time. One more render about with this? So it is that much more taking time.

Speaker 1:

But whenever we are thinking that ar, it is like how the instagram stories we are creating so many filters. We are showing that ourselves like cat or different different makeup things and snapchat like how do that filter? So same thing is that like ar, augmented reality, so that product we can place that on the immediately room or whatever place we are thinking and we can display to that whatever we want to show. So this is actually differences about the VR and AR. We are basically creating this at your own work with that inside. Another kind of that things and you can that feel like is that you are not inside to that. That's reality right now. You are somewhere else. But ar is that exactly same real world, but placing is some of the object, some logo or whatever you want.

Speaker 1:

So for the future, again, like, is that with the lighting system, if creating is much more accurate, for example, if we can establish, like uh, light levels accurate with that ar system. So I think for the users will be much, much, uh, nice systems, lighting design is that will be that much more understandable for the future. It is that I explain and we can think about, like is that how the we? It is that I explained and we can think about, like is that how we are telling to that person is that, how do that, emotionally, that or how do that lighting design? That will be happen. It will be accurate. Before that is the creating all that building or creating all that system we can show to that person. So for the beginning, is that much more healthy way. I'm finding at least, and it will be.

Speaker 1:

That is that again, that other systems also. It is getting is a much more integration. So that's why we are doing this video also. And last of this thing, I want to show one of that video, another AI system. This is that again for you I created.

Speaker 1:

There is the one of website co-home.

Speaker 1:

I can share the link also.

Speaker 1:

I'm not sure that we are able to share or not.

Speaker 1:

We are bringing whatever data we have, which is the DWG or whatever PDF, so I selected the PDF one of that house plan to that here, for example, and we are setting.

Speaker 1:

Is that about the scale, which kind of that scale we want to do Generally whenever I'm calculating for taking the door or elevator, so it is that bringing is much more accurate.

Speaker 1:

So some of that dimension I knew it because DWG also beat me and I'm giving that 800 mm, so it is my scale and it is automatically will scaling system and asking to me, what is that floor height I want? And uh, here, if you are talking about, is that real project? And my project was like, uh, three, three, three thousand, five hundred mm, three meters, five hundred, and after we are saying the generate floor plan and automatically it is creating all the wall and all the elements that whatever architecture plan that for you, because sometimes what happened? You don't have any 3D model you have. Is it on the reference image, sometimes on the AutoCAD plan, and they are expecting that from to your creating. Is that all the lighting design and lighting planning? And here we can see that how automatically it's created and with all the lighting design and lighting planning, and here we can see that how automatically it's created and with all the dimension also given with that scale.

Speaker 2:

I can see that how the perspective also, how the walls we can see we hope you enjoyed this episode and you've gained some insight or inspiration that you can take away or perhaps apply.
