dunno...I have been using vray for almost 3 years now. it took me sometime to understand how vraysun, vrayligths and vraycam work together indeed and now I use them most of the time for indoors and outdoors too.

as Ray & Bkitts pointed, you need to understand how they work before expenting great results.

the way I started it was: create the vray sun using and standard cam. the only way to make it fit it was by starting with intensity 0.002/0.005 otherwise it was burning everything around....then you can play with the other sun parameters.

find out that vrayphysical cam could get more or less the same ligthing results as the standard cam by setting the shooter speed to 2.0...then you can play with the other vrayphysical cam parameters

vrayligth planes...that's the easiest and mainly for indoors.

this is very basic and it is a good start to put your vray stuff together, besides getting the rigth settings with your vray setup. as Rick said, I always got the vray envirimental ligth to 0.

hope it helps....Eric

btw. I do have a full time work designing shops and interior design.
