Hi,

How can Vue 5 be set up to realistically bounce daylight into room interiors? I'm an architect and have used Vue for over a year to produce renders of proposed buildings, but find I have to fake interior views with lots of ambient light or additional point lights as sunlight doesn't bounce into rooms as it would in reality. Is this simply a limitation of Vue 5?

In the upper attached image there is a concrete shelf below the horizontal slit opening on the the right side, but as I've had to add ambient light to get a generally daylit look to the room, there are no shadows under the shelf and it's become very difficult to distinguish from the wall. As shown in the lower image, when I turn ambient light off the image is almost completely black with only very slight reflected light. I have spent literally hundreds of hours experimenting with atmosphere and rendering settings, but am now beginning to wonder if I'm missing something really obvious. I would be very, very grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance,
Jackson
