westvale Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Hi friends, Every time I run an interior ray trace, they're always very dark. This interior has tons of windows and light fixtures, and it's still dark! How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designers_Ink Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Can you post the .plan file so we an see your lighting, sun and camera settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLU_Design Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 My guess is you may want to adjust your exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of this setting and it's making all the difference! I'm so grateful for your suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Drop your daytime backdrop levels to about 300. Change your sun intensity to about 400 and then you might want to add some general lighting (light sources) with shadows off. I tend to scatter those around to fill in dark zones (lower cabinet faces...) Make sure to check in your camera how many lights can be used. Bump that number up as it defaults to a pretty low number if you have lights in a full house as opposed to only one room (44? may be the default) If you use a backdrop, it will really affect your light color. I tend to drop the recessed light to about 200 and take the color very slightly yellow so they don't glow around the edges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskogg Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I use 3000 for daytime and .4 for exposure...works great, try that. Also I always adjust sun using move sun option to bring sunlight into model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
