Lighting question

miki3d

Hi all!

I recently bought 13 Doctor's Office Environment and I'm curious to know how to get a lighting like the top frame of the image attached (it's the cover image of the product)

I'm using iray with sun & sky and the some light comes from the windows and the emissive material of the lamps, but actually everything is almost flat (similar to the bottom frame of the image)

I really love the soft feels of the top reference render, I also tried to change the lamp color without getting good results.

Thanks

Mik

Do you have a camera in the scene?

If so, check that the Headlamp Mode of the camera is off. Otherwise the camera will emit light, what pretty much kills all the nice shadows and the mood.
