HI

Like to get some comments on this render in regards to the overall lighting of the scene.
I have been working on this scene for some days now and the biggest problem was to get enough light into the room, ended up with the light as described below.

Settings
DL - DF(4) - 2000 samples - Diffuse depth 7
HDRI light and light emitters planes outside the windows (smaller than the windows)
Light emitter plan behind the camera
Render time = 15 mim (1280x720) - (1 x GTX680)
No post pro straight out of Octane.

Hope to get you good ideas.

Why didn't you use portals and PMC for the render? Maybe this would cause the incoming light to bounce inside the room and light it up.

Have tried portals but the whole inner wall around the windows get totally over exposed, and it seams like with portals the render time is longer.

No point of using portals with windows that large.

Hi Claus!
Very nice job! Congratulations!
Can I ask you about HDRI map? Where did you get it?
Thank you

Lucio

P.S. I'd like to see the complete scene, with chairs, I mean...
