did you by chance leave your "default" lights on under your global switchs?

[murtazasimari]

noo man i put off my default lights

First, I am not sure about your light setup...

If you would be in Viz, I would say that your radiosity is on ( it is on by default) but as you are in Max. Your exposure in the environment rollout should be off as well

 

For the light setup, lights in the windors should be enough for this scene, not sure for a light under the floor...

did you use vray lights i see? and maybe the materials...nice work as well!!

[Joseph Petrino]

Why so many lights? The whole scene is really overlit.

 

Especially get rid of the light pointing up to the ceiling.

 

Dial down the saturation spinner a bit also, the color bleed is too high.

When using GI, normally there's no need for fake lights like that one bellow. This is good when using fakeosity, but this is not the case. Another thing you'll notice is that sometimes you need to control the color bleeding of the scene material by material. I'm not sure if this is the case here (because this scene is totally overlit), but you might need it.
