      Looks like a good scene to flesh out. The pillows and mattress material seems to have a very reflective setting applied.

        Good natural light makes it easier, I hope. There is a pair of directed lights on the wall above the bed which may affect the pillows and sheet. First render with the latest build and my first render for a while.
        Some residents here being instructed to expose asbestos and themselves to it.

        What with new roofs etc and tools/waste flying everywhere we need to be careful.

        Still having concentration issues, current working diagnosis of long covid is a bit contentious with me, I think it is just biped flu.

          A bit deeper, altered the hdri image and remembered to change the setting to hdri in the environment tab. I also did away with part of a wall to open up the room properly which also reveals another window for natural light.

            Great start on what can be a very nice render. πŸ‘

              Thank you. Still not getting my head around artificial lights and in particular overlapping of illumination from different light sources.
              I like this render program as it is and know it will get better. It challenges my grey cell but hey, what's life without a challenge.

                Before you tackle interior lighting it would be worth exploring why your scenes are struggling to light interior spaces.

                It could be a glass setting or your HDR is not casting enough light.

                Add a Sun light along with the HDR and make it shoot light in the window. Adjust its strength and radius to get it to your liking.

                That's what I would do before even adding any assets into the scene. Get the interior space lit how you want.

                    I was finding the larger premises difficult to motivate myself with so am going back to the smaller. The backgound/hdri has auto exposure selected in Rayscaper but is washed out.

                    The old SLR dilemna of exposing for either the interior or exterior but never both.

                      What is the setup for the window glass? Is it thickened? Two planes?

                        Half inch glass pane with 10% opacity. Works elsewhere.

                              OK HDRI only light source outside the model, painted on to a surface half the building height as a scaling mechanism. HDRI set to 0.80.

                                like the view and the subdued interior lighting on this one. Well done. πŸ‘

                                  Thanks mate, not even close, takes me a while to find the sweet spot at the moment. Moving on.

                                    Good stuff mike!

                                    You mentioned that auto-exposure is doing funky things? Is the image below using auto-exposure? If so, what does it look like without auto-exposure?

                                    For the window glass, make sure you are using the glass material with thin & transparent shadows:
