living room interior

[chow choppe]

Hi all

 

please have a look at this and lemme know ur crits and suggestions on how i can improve this.

 

 

Its easier for me to render a day type interior scene in which light is coming from outside but i always get stuck while doing a night scene of interiors.

i took help from archinteriors volumes to understand the lighting.

like they have used a vray sphere light behind the camera with small radius and 30.0 intensity on one side and on other side is a photometric free point light.there is not light in the ceiling and vray spheres inside the table lamps.

 

i am using the same method just to give it a try but i am not happy with the lighting. its not looking photorealistic.

 

please help how i can improve this

 

how to go about lighting an interior scene with artificial lights?

when to decide that color mapping needs adjustment or intensity of lights?

how to choose between photometric and vray sphere lights?

 

i know there's no rule for this but how to work out the lighting for a scene?

 

Ur suggestions wud be appreciated. m using max 2008 and vray 1.5SP1

 

thanks
