Description
This time, I put this scene together piece by piece rather than using one of the pre made scenes. I didn't use the lighting from the scene, I only added one spotlight aiming down at the main character from the front. It looked fine in the preview as everything around and behind the main character had less and less light hitting them. But the renders didn't look like what I saw in the preview. The light looks about the same all over as if there's some ambient daylight, but I had the render set for only the scene light? I had no dome, no head lamp, nothing but one spot which I moved up, down, back, forward, and even rotated it down more. Still this is what I got after several renders. Really frustrating, but DS gave me lots more frustration after I gave up on this and moved on.
Have a nice day!

Fantastic... I think the scene looks pretty good. Looks like she's getting a very big welcome from the locals... I can't blame them, she's delightful!

The lights in DS seem to be mostly just pre set--if you use 3delight, you can get rendered lights to look like the previews, but Iray uses hdri, either the default Environment one of Dthurigif_Ruins or whatever that is, or one that you manually plug in. You can rotate the iray dome but you can't see what happens until you render. You can however load in whatever you want into the Render/Environment tab as long as it's an image file and it will do it's best. Take a look at Elianek's Dramatic lights to see how you can get cool effects with simple painted images. (I like her sets anyway). I think this is a cool image even if the lights didn't do what you wanted :D

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it very much!

Despite the lighting struggles, I really like the way this is lighted - it has the feel of daylight filtered through thin, wispy clouds which gives it a moody feel perfect for this ominous scene.
I'm not sure why it came out this way with only the one spotlight, though. I'm still learning DS myself, so I'm no expert by any means, but you might try playing with the environment intensity in the render settings.
