I have grown tired of doing landscapes now i wanna try some indoor scenes.My first attemt was a disaster.No matter what i do,the walls render o.k.but the ceiling is always black or dark grey,I have tried various lights but its not looking too natural.So,that is why i am here to see if we have any "Indoor scenery experts" that can help shed some "light" on the subject.Maybe you know of some tutorial.Anything will be highly appreciated.Thank you so much,in advance.OH!!!!!!! almost forgot,I am realy impressed with the type of work that is being displayed on the Vue d' Esprit website.All of the people who have sumitted(sorry about my spelling guys)their work of art are talented people,every single one of them.Dont waste such a talent,God gave it to you for a reason.Also,I have been monitoring this forum for about a week and I really like the attitude and courtesy of the members,I feel i am hangin out with freinds,keep up the Excellent work and God bless. Vue ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm not an indoor expert but if you leave the sun outside , try to make it come through a window or door(or remove the roof if you dont need it) i do it the stupid way, i put the sun inside to play with the scene and after i'm happy with the scene, i put the sun back outside and play with spots or point lights. the "waiting room" scene that comes with vue 3 seems to use tons of point lights.(but it is a complicated one)so i would put a point light inside and play with the luminosity of it. good luck jp

Hello boricua57, and welcome. :) When I do an indoor scene I will totally enclose everything, and stay out of the "sun". Usually I'll just get rid of the sun and use only point lights or spot lights inside, uless there's an open window or something,

Sure, the sun inside will not help you. Put some point lights in the middle of the room (Vue 2.1 and Vue 3.1). In Vue 4 it is to use carefully. If you choose white walls and a white ceiling, you can make it whiter. Double-click on the material to open the material eitor. Then go to the EFFECTS tab and if necessary bring up diffuse and ambiant light to 100%, or less... you have to try out. Don't forget to put some windows (boolean) in your walls to have also the sunlight or the daylight come in. And have a look at my tutorials for beginners if you need to know more about it (english and french language):-)

jpcr, this never will work, the sun, inside a closed box. Sun is always outside, wherever you may place it :-) Guitta
