Final Work. What's going wrong?

[drvox]

Hi all,

 

Here is attached the final render or a shopping center store.

 

I wonder what is going wrong...

 

First I've tried Photometric Free points in the boxes (one for each box) and Photometric Free Areas over the black "Faked Roof" (I don't know the proper name in english). It was taking too long (9hours) to render, so i've changed the free areas with vray light (sphere).

 

I guess the problem is not with materials, since I've used them before in well succeded scenes. This is my first scene (not tutorial excercise) without sun light.

 

For the free points I've used this tutorial for reference: http://www.evermotion.org/?unfold_exclusive=86&unfold=exclusive

 

Thanks a lot,

 

King Regards

Patrício, what's exactly wrong here? I really don't see anything really wrong regarding lighting... anyway, one thing you noticed yourself is that IES will take longer to render. But, to be quite honest, you don't need them unless you want the light to be distributed in a very specific way, and, in my case at least, that only happens with spots. Also, Max's area lights are not really area lights, unlike VRay's, so you can (and should) use a VRay plane light.
