      Hi, I was trying some settings of rendering for this model i made with SU:
      http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=41204f98bad58895e7ca18fd816a11da

      The problem is: how to render the candles light and soft shadows produced by this particular source?
      Original Model:

      This is only a little experiment: an HDR image from 5 renderings with different EV, from -2 to +2:

      The sources would be 2 great candelabra or chandeliers near the base of goddess statue.. (not present in model)

      -PM Method High AA 0,3...

      Suggestions to improve realism? What do you think about? ๐Ÿ˜„

      Original Model here (SKP File of 40,1 MB):

        ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ Great work!
        Especially the light sources can take much rendering time. I don't know what to improve, it's perfect. For my models, I sometimes use dirt mapping to make them look old, but that would not fit to this clean marble.

              Thanks to all!! ๐Ÿ˜„
              I've added two great braziers from my another model, so the light has some sort of source.

              This is a "Monkey" Light Transport (MLT) ๐Ÿ’š :
              MLT rendering

              I'm changing the textures for the vault coffers with a different gold decoration:

                awsome. the only thing i can think of is to make your lights some yellow some orange (very close together)to give more of a candle lit/shadow effect.
