Here are my latest Corona Renderings. An apartment project in Paris inspired by the french architect Joseph Dirand.

Wow your lighting is stunning! Amazingly bright, white and warm but without any major colour cast. Would you mind sharing your lighting setup / temperature details?

Thanks

First of all: Thanks guys!

I was using vray  for many years and i have to admit that i never reached a state of full satisfaction with the images. One reason was surely the very short termed projects but as an architect i never understood why one has to do so many workarounds to simulate the reality. In Corona it's completely different! You get what you have done before and that is a huge time saver.

The lighting in the scene is done with a sunny hdri and additional corona planes in front of every window to light up the scene a bit more. With other hdri's there were no planes needed but in the end i decided for that combination. As you can see in the image below, i didn't change the color much in ps (Upper left part is corrected). Just a bit colder as the hdri is quite warm.

Thanks for your explanation - interesting approach with the light planes in front of the windows. I would have imagined this would have given the image a very "cgi'd" / fake look, but that isn't the case with your renders.
