HELP - Interior Render in Vray - Too dark!

solo

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.

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)

I reset vray to default settings, turned the sun on in SU and rendered.

Oh, I also made the background color white

joaorsmello

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.

joaorsmello

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!
