exterior night_ mainly windows

[Xav_B]

Hi cgarchitects out there,

 

First post here.

I recently have official 3d architecture work hooray! so this won't be the last post. I hope.

Anyways i'm supposed to do a night scene of a building with loads of windows.

40 stories.

Any tips on how to

- light most but not all with a variety of tones/color; in a non tedious method?

or

- or just in general?

-and how would u make it look like there's something going on behind them - say a restaurant, lobby? orso?

 

hmm hope its not too many questions in one go. Thanks for any suggestions.
