daylight: why my scene's object not well lit

[smr_VIZ]

I set up a daylight for my scene and other stuffs like mr Physical sky map also set in Background. Now the sky in the scene looks ok,but the builidng look not well lit. it is dark. the material is uing Arch & Desigh preset material.

 

What kind of things could create such problems?

 

PLEASE help to troubleshoot it. Thanks a million.

Also have a look at your Gamma settings.. Basically a gamma setting of 1.0 will make everything look very dark. Set it to 2.2 (It's in Customize-->Preferences-->Gamma and LUT). Maybe someone in here could explain this in more detail than me as I'm not an expert, and Gamma is a very big area if you delve deep enough...

post a render of the scene and that should make it easier to spot problem areas and areas where you could improve etc

i use CTRL + L and that will restore some basic lighting in my scene's viewports so they don't look so dark. is that what you're talking about?
