Yep...after using Vray for about 6 years, I have to start using VIZ without it, the office that I started working for, doesnt have Vray. Obviously, I kinda forgot everything with scanline, radiosity, etc.

I remember, I used to create a "dome" of lights, with really soft intensity and shadows to fake ambient lighting, and then a direct light for the sun.

However the render im doing is too dark and grey, everything that should be white isnt but grey, and if I increase the intensity of the dome lights, then the whites start being whiter, but the other materials (brick, concrete, etc) start burning out in a horrible way.

Can anyone give some advise?, I just need to be put in the right track and Ill take it from there.

thanks.

(maybe I should try that daylight system, but never used it before, adn I remember radiosity was a little comlpicated and took too much time, then again, it was 6 years ago with older PCs)
