My last try with AO. I´m not very happy with this one. Will keep trying.

nice image for me, i like illumination, maybe the camera angle is not correct
put some things, ambient more, you told me that
regards

add some ies

How do you put an ÍES into an emitter? Not using nodes, please. Ive been trying, but I didnt found the way to do it.

really nice the shaders of the floor and the foreground wall
I don't like too much the cabinet shaders (don't understand what kind of material should be the top part), even the tiles of the other wall didn't like me...maybe you could try with an half or 2/3 tiled wall.

Paquito....a question about AO mode
before tweaking with the "AO distance parameter" how did you set the environment light in your scene?, totally white?, some graduation of grey?, or HDR?

You must understand that with the ao distance, we want just to set the distance of the shading, it doesn´t matter what you use as environment, distance is distance, and thats all you want to adjust at that stage. I usually put a white environment and use the distance slider. When I get a working distance setting, I don´t touch it more. In short words: adjusting the AO distance doesn´t relates to illumination, colors, light power, etc... just with having a correct shading, regardless what you use to light the scene.

Here´s an update. Added two sconces with a plain warm emitter (don´t know how to use IES by now) Does it look any better? I think it does.

seems better now, the shader of the cabinet earn a lot with this lighting.

I undesrtood what you mean Paquito, I'll made some test sooner

Cheers

better, some explain about the lights ?
i like image
