Simulating a dark room

[hoseinasadi]

hey guyz, how can i simulate the lighting of a room with low light source like the picture below. as u can see the areas near the window are brighter while areas away from the window gradually become darker. the first photo is my render(vray sun+vray camera : shutter speed = 30 , ISO = 100) ,second picture is the lighting effect id wanna copy in my render.

Put something outside your windows and adjust your exposure until they look like in the scene you want its lighting. Your interior will darken accordingly, just like a camera would.

Shooting with 100 ISO/ASA film at a 30th of a second in a dark room would result in a very dark result. If you are using a film standard, go for at least 400 ASA. What you get is more contrast--like your inspiration image. Vray has some setting in GI for contrast, so experiment and not just use the default. Then use Photoshop if you need more contrast.

 

Treat the light as an actor in the scene. What is it doing? Is it focusing on a detail, or is it throwing attention around the room, teasing out detail from the dark. Light is active, dark is passive.
