ckat609 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi there! I've been researching exterior/interior lighting for quite a while now and I've come up with a living room for my first render. This is my first time using vray so I've had trouble understanding some of the parameters. The exterior you see from the inside is super extra bright. I'm only using one light as the sun and HDRI lighting for the environment. Here are some settings which could have something do with it. Primary bounces: IR Secondary bounces: Light cache Environment: HDRI multiplier 8 VRayLight: Sphere multiplier 3 Gamma correction Dark: 0.5 Light: 0.5 Any ideas?!? Any suggestions/comments will be highly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo scapi Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Those are very good for the first time. The exterior burning too much in an interior view is normal, in fact it has to be like that in real life. But you can control this by using vray lights in the windows, so you don´t need to have an environment and sun very strong, instead just pump up the Vray lights. This procedure will also give you more detail in shadows, and this is something your images are needing. Congratulations for the renders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckat609 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks for the tips... But isn't there a way to light up a scene just using a sun and the environment? I mean... isn't that the way it happens in real life? You mentioned detail in my objects... what exactly do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slawnick Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Typically I find it much easier to render the exterior seperately, lit just the way I want it to look; then put them together in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckat609 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Maybe I'll give that a shot later on... right now I haven't focused on my exterior as much as I should have. I've got another question for you guys... When I render a certain area of my house, should I hide the furniture and all the other stuff that's not visible and just leave whatever the camera sees or should everything be there? Does it take longer to render if everything is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
