lighting techniques

[Dana Sherry]

Here is a rendering I am working on- I am trying to soften the lighting so it does not look so white and sterile, I am looking for the warmer look I see on the learning guide and all of the postings here, and also trying to make it look as close as possible to the actual job site photo. This is for a home show to show clients what the software can do and how realistic it is. I tried to reduce the intensity of various lights but it just seems to diminish details, not soften or warm the look. Does anyone have any ideas? Change wall covering to a darker color?

Dana after presentation rendering, double click the lights, you will see a red ring flash, then on bottom of screen, adjust your light & shine intensity, then re-render. Hope that helps
