Indoor Lighting Tips?

Richard John S

Well, I just started working with indoor scenes most recently besided indoor HDRI lights. I am having a problem with lighting. The scenes always seem to be very dark as compared to the scrreenshots this includes the ready to render setup for i13 new bathroom scene. The only way I can seem to get decent lighing is by rmoving the ceiling.

With Iray HDRi lighting this is what you need to do. The light doesn't penetrate geometry -- ceilings, walls, whatever. You need to move or remove these objects to let the light through.

In the render settings under tone mapping, simply adjust the exposure value to a lower number for more light and to a higher number for less light.  The lights you use still need to be set up correctly of course
