And remove the plane from the ceeleng i remember that i used this method last time when i was using 3dsMAX 6 and scanline renderer.

And chek out these tutorials, them might be helpfull.

Using interactive rendering can make it real fun. Do not use the "fake" lighting such as that rectangle, unless you really need it for some artistic purposes. Photographers also use mattes and reflectors to light the subject, so I guess this shouldn't be "banned". :)

Try to set up a photoraphic exposure and set up paremeters like if it would be an interior photo - for example ISO 100 Fstop - 2.8 Shutter 1\30 And then ajust the lithing till you get a decent result.

Post by: maru on 2015-11-04, 14:21:06: I think it looks much better and is getting a nice warm morning/evening feeling. I think you could further increase exposure.
