HELP - Interior Render in Vray - Too dark!
-
Hello guys!! I hope I can get some help here...
Well, after making a model for a university work, I tried to test some renders with vray inside sketchup! I then found a hge problem I really cant solve.
As you can see on the picture, the render was made inside an apartment, without any artificial lights. Even with so many glass doors and windows, I couldnt get the image so be brighter that the example I am sending. I tried many things, and checked all the details I knew about that could make some difference, but none did.
The glasses faces are all correctly oriented; the GI skylight is at 300 (tried from 3 to 300, and it doesnt seen to be any difference between 30 and 300!).
I really wanted to get an image without any artificial ilumination, and that simulated the space as if it was like midday or something. I know I could remove the roof and there would be plenty of light, but I really wnat to avoid that because I am planing on doing details on the roof I want to show, and I also donty like the shadow results without it, that kinda show that the place received direct ilumination from above.
So what should I do to get a brighter place, as if that was a picture as bright as a place like that can be at midday, without turning on the lights...? I know it would be brighter than the result I got.
Please help me finding any common mistakes and making standart smart set ups that help this kind of problem!And thanks a lot for the time and attention!!

Care to upload the model, I am very new at vray but may be able to solve this as I had a few similar issues recently.

Hello again!
As requested, here is the model!
As a student, I use lots of models I save from the net, some from here, some from other free stuff sites. As I dont remember anymore from where I got all the stuff, I apologise if I am using something from someone here without making the right notes.
Anyway, here it is! Any help, hint and ideas are welcome for making it less dark!
ps. Had to do a .rar cause the file is too big. sorry for that.joao rsm

I could download/open the file with no problem, Pete. I changed it to a (bit bigger however) zip file in Joao's post above - hope it helps.
(I can't help as I don't use Vray myself)

Great Great!
That seams already pretty better!! I tought about turning on some kind of sun in the vray options but just couldnt find it!
Where did u turn it on? inside the vray options? where there?
thanks a lot!!

I turned the sun on in SU (clicked on display shadows and adjusted my time and date so that sun filtered in), then reset vray to defaults.
-
Oh! Just noticed that!
Thank ou a lot! I really didnt know the sun in Su would add any modifications in the renders in vray. Because of the setting process in vray, I even tought that the shadow and sun setups in sketch were ignored and therefore didnt pay attention to that!
thanks a lot for that!
