Interior Scene with No Outdoor Lights

[isayah]

What would be the best way to produce a realistic interior scene where there exists no windows?

I mean there's no way to add outdoor light to the scene.

And I'm using vray of course!

That's a fairly general question but I would say spend extra time getting your materials right as they contribute so much more to an interior scene in terms of the way they bounce and influence light.

 

Also try to match your scene lighting to recognisable sources of light in the scene so it's easy to read where it's coming from. IES files will help to achieve a realistic spread of light, and making sure your gamma settings are correct will ensure your light responds correctly to distance. Real-world scale and units are a must too.

I am really looking forward to hearing what people have to say about this.

I would find someone else to do it

i used IES and tried to avoid non-realistic lights, but i think adjusting Gamma is not realistic! am i not right?!! i work on my vray physical cam to get what i need n i get better results.

by the way, any good quality stuff on materials?
