Working on a bunch of new shots on a new architecture house, pretty excited.
Here's a quick pass at the mats and a 20 min render.

I'm still getting a very dark and overall heavy look that I'm not thrilled with. How do I create more light without over brightening everything?

:) nice shot, you could try different camera response curves or increase the ISO

You can try to tweak the gamma, that can brighten the lower tones.

I'll give that a shot.
Also, you might want to check your link in your sig. Instead of your folio or anything I got a nice "adult friend finder" ad.

That did help a bit, though now it feels a bit drab.
I guess it's going to be a balancing act.

Oops, thank you for the heads up on my sig, I'm sorry if that caused any trouble to any one in the forum... it is fixed now.

As for the gamma thing... yes it tends to flatten a bit the image if exaggerated. Your new camera responce made the image look a bit cold.

Have you tried (if that is a option of course) to change the sun's position, so it could bounce a bit more light into the building?
