Now a render of the 2nd story balcony ...

[lionkingcmsl]

and how the track lights work into the scene:



A couple of notes:

1. The hard edge of lighting on the far wall/ceiling is due to the light being "lit" in the spiral stair enclosure, where this shot was taken from.

2. Near the left center you can see another light that I created, this time from an idea that I had.

3. In RL the lighting may not be exactly as depicted, but this sure gives one an idea of how the lighting could look.

4. The only lights illuminating this scene are the 4 track lights and the aforementioned light at the top of the siral stair enclosure.

5. The "polished walnut" guardrail is sitting on tempered, smoked, safety glass. This type of system is used in malls and other retail/office settings. I chose it to offset the "rustic" look of the a-frame with a touch of modernism. I think it works quite well.

Wow! Cool. You're making me jealous here. =^.^= Looks pretty good. Kinda dark, but that might be from the rendering program.

It's dark due to the limited amount of lights sources, 6 in all: 4 track lights and 2 "bulbs" in the stair enclosure light.

Think of it as going to bed on a dark winter's night and these are the only lights lit.
