      Pleas look at my model...
      it suppose to be a grand bazaar...
      and these are awnings...
      I want too make a day light scene
      when I render with sunlight objects and ground under awning are too dark and other places are too shiny!
      I used:
      sunlight intensity 1
      GI color 1
      physical camera shutter speed 300

      I tried increasing and decreasing of sunlight, but contrast between inside and outside of awnings is huge!
      what should I do?

        Hello,

        first, check your SU and VRayForSU versions and use the last ones (8 for SU and 1.49.01 for VRayFor SU).
        Then, look at this VIDEO for render settings. Great help ! ๐Ÿ‘

        SU2019 pro 19.3.253 + VRay 4.00.02 (Next) on Win10-64Bits

          Agreed. Watch the video and make sure you have the latest V-Ray 1.49.01. I would reset to the defaults on your Options. My suspicion is that you are either loading a Visopt that was downloaded from the web that used the older build or this file was built previously in an older version of VR4SU. Try this. If you still have issues, PM me and I can walk you through it.

            one thing that would help with the strong contrast is to use materials. If you have a default white, it will mess with the lighting calculations. Try applying some light gray materials and try your render again.

              thank for responses
              I will watch the video
              and of course latest versions are necessary...
              I use: SketchUp 8.0.3117 Pro + V-Ray 1.48.91 td
              and fast-preview-studio.visopt
              I used materials but this picture is from primary designing
              and it is a sketchup rendering not a vray rendering
              (in order to decrease size of the file and time of rendering)

              don't you think I should set an omni light somewhere (hidden from the cameras line of sight) under the awnings... or make upper surface of the awnings translucent... or something like that in order to increase the light under the awnings?

              by the way if the latest version of the design renders are helpful please tell me to attach them.

                Latest version is 1.49.01 - it's strongly recommended to update as there are many fixes from that version you have.

                  I would start with the default options settings. A lot of things have changed since the old visopts that you are using, and can lead to issues with the renders.

                    thanks guys
                    I just watched the video
                    and chose default.visopt with a little changes that was recommended in the video
                    and contrast is good now
