Rendering Issues - Always renders foliage dark and diff - HELP!!!

Hey,

I am 3dsmax/Vray Visualizer. I am always struggling for nice intensity for Greenary and Foliage. My Trees, Ivy, Grasses, Bushes and any kind of planting renders a bit dark and low exciting. I really pushed my self into this, I am sick of these. I tried everything I can do.

I used, Archmodels, CGAxis, Itoo Presets, Laubwrek, iGrasses, iBushes and iTrees but there is no success. I attached my render and Real Archmodels PDF Smaple pic. See difference your self.

I used and Vizpark HDRI with quite nice intensity. If I put Higher Values than I am near of what I want but it burns out whole scene.

Also attaching lots of Images that describes how I need my Greens to look like.

Thanks in Advance !

turn up your lights

use a different hdri

try a sun sky

turn up your lights

compensate for the burn with colour mapping

increase your exposure

turn up your lights

Usually to get nice plants, you need to add translucensy and glossines in your materials leaf. For trunks normal bumps or displacement will do

good depending of the distance from the camera

Sometimes I create a nice wax material it seems tow work fing and it render pretty fast considering.
