Abstract
A method of rendering a three-dimensional building with window effects has been developed. The method comprising: reading a building facade texture for the three-dimensional building from a memory; identifying room boundaries or floor boundaries within the building facade texture based on window areas of the building facade texture; generating a window lighting layer for the building facade texture using the identified room boundaries or floor boundaries; generating a modified building facade texture having window effects by combining the window lighting layer with the building facade texture using a window transparency cutout layer, the modified building facade texture being configured such that the window lighting layer can be seen only through the window areas of the building facade texture; and rendering images of the three-dimensional building using the modified building facade texture. A system having a display, a memory, and a processor for performing the method has also been developed.
