I think it's not only the shadow's blue color, if you see on the left side, the illuminated parts of the horizontal plane are also a very bright blue and they should be as white as the vertical ones. As a result of this, the horizontal and vertical shadows get different blue tones, seeing them with a higher contrast between them. The question would be why are not all planes tinted with the same ambient blue color?

i don't see the problem. this looks like natural lighting, apart from the blueish tone. but without texturing, what do you expect? you clearly need to give the elements in this scene some material attributes, or is this meant to stay white ;)
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply

1x i7 2600K @5.0 (Asrock Z77), 16GB, 2x Asus GTX Titan 6GB @1200/3100/6200
2x i7 2600K @4.5 (P8Z68 -V P), 12GB, 1x EVGA GTX 580 3GB @0900/2200/4400

These effects can be seen even textures applied. Yes, everything is white, the floor has a little reflection but it also is white :)
I'm just exploring all the posibilities of octane's low render settings, fast and enough quality for me ;)
Thank you all for reflecting on my question! maybe this can be solved in the future... :mrgreen:

hello
my first question on the forum was identical to this one.
at first I thought to have solved the problem
but it is not.
the light from the window colors even the walls white.
is possibilie changing light of day??
the only solution for me is to use the enviroment textures and artificial light but the shadows are too soft and not as beautiful as the daylight
