How to do Realistic or between Tweet

[Conna3005]

Greetings.

I had a little Exercise on Lighting and Interiors/Exteriors.

This is the Way how i done the Setup. I would like to have more Realistic.

I am using two Area Lights, Octane HDRI and Sun Object for Interior. I got a better Result than before, but it could be a little better.

I am using a Noise Shader for the Walls. The Original Cinema Noise. I m not using the small from Octane.

I could use a little Advice on the Setup. I could use the Collor Temperatur, but i must combine Sun Temperatur with Sky Temperature.
That means Blue with Yellow. I am not Experienced with that Setup and could use some Advises.

At least it looks far better than before.

Hi,

• No context / subject / reference = hardly any sensical and appropriate direction to take (to not neglect)
• Increasing the sun intensity is strongly recommended, analogously to the reality
•The outside will be over exposed and that's totally fine.
What's not is using default color management. OCIO AgX comes to the rescue (link below).
• Supporting light entrances with additional area lights is recommended, despite the absence of project description (generic advice).
