Help! Interior scenes - lights too bright or room too dark
-
I've been having some issues for a long time with interior scenes and finally thought it was time to ask on here for your advice on interior lighting. I find it impossible to achieve good overall lighting without having VRAY lights burning out.
See these two attached examples.
Lights in Scene:Strip light: VRay Rectangle Light (intensity 20 (scalar))
Pool Lights: 2 X IES (power 50,000)The first is rendered with the following:
Shutter Speed: 20
F Number: 8
Film ISO: 100
This image has nice lighting, but the overall image is too dark.
The second is rendered with the following:
Shutter Speed: 20
F Number: 8
Film ISO: 400
The overall lighting is much better but the lights are burnt out.
How do I achieve balance! Look forward to advice from you guys!
Thanks,
Dingo Bruce.

There is no magic button. You have to light a scene the way you would in real life. Fixtures with IES lights, windows letting in sunlight, maybe you even setup a few rectangular lights behind your camera as additional lighting, the same way a photographer would.

I think if you go to Color mapping, choose HSV Exponential, you can play a little bit with dark and bright multiplier to get a better result. And there is always Photoshop to assist you further.

I like the clear and simple way how you have expressed this.
Your three sentences should be the introduction for each lighting chapter of any Render Tool.However, I would like such a "magic button"
