Hello, i did small interior scene. I want to know can i light scene a bit more, with day light from Octane. I got only one window - quite wide. How can i do it, if i adjust ISO etc. it just burns out main lit area. Is it even possible? I guess that when i am aiming for is a bit unrealistic. In 2nd test i got rid off ceiling, that is surly not realistic ;], but i got the lighting i needed with HDRI map applied + high exposure. HDRI map wos burning like hell but scene wos lit as i wanted. Another quistion is are fireflys the side effect that will never be reapired? I know we got the "remover" but it is not always best solution. I haven't seen on this forum any kind on interior render with small window, everyone uses almost a wall of windows in their work is that because you had same problems like me or that is some modern design thing :D? I had similar problem in other programs but they had solution for that. I could just darken the burned area, or lit the dark one. Here i can't its just one slider that both ways makes me angry ;]. Another thing, if i will render much longer like 2 hours will i get less noise, becouse i got 2 render 12 min and 31 min they were same.

Do you want to have enough inside your interior but not overexpose the lit area.

The best way would be to use a different camera response. From the misc menu chose either dscs315_1 or version 2 and 3. ;)

You can also try to take out the walls / windows that are behind the camera (or are not in the render).
