Default Re: Mental Ray Exposure Modifier

bloody hell, just when i thought i'd mastered exposure etc, you now throw something new into the mixer for me to think about haha.

back to the drawing board eh?

if i setup an interior camera and sunlight is coming through the window, i set my exposure etc and render, voila.

if i then change the time on the daylight system so that the sun is facing away from the window, or if i just rotate the compass 180 degrees, i will then need to change my exposure. i was under the impression that my exposure would be fine left alone, yes the render would be darker than the original render with light coming through the window but wouldn't that be how it appears in real life anyway???? if i adjust the exposure for the room with no direct sunlight then surely that would just be to brighten the room which would then be unrealistic according to the real world???

if that is the case then do you change the exposure for visual beauty/physical correctness or photographic correctness???

i am confused
