Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
Hi, guys!
Can you tell me, why rendering with natural light is too dark?
I've drawn a room with 4 walls, floor and ceil (17 sq.m). Placed simple double window. And a table inside (just for example). Placed virtual visitor and made yafaray render. (window to the NE side and 8AM - morning - very thin stripe of sunlight on the wall)
Until I turn on ceil lighting images are very dark - almost black room with window and sunlight stripe!
Sky lighting doesn't help. Only ceil lighting...
What I do wrong? Or is it normal? I'm trying to compare with real life and my room with the same conditions is much lighter at morning. (yes, i know about aperture and shutter time in photography, but...)
Can I setup renderer to make pics closer to real life with natural lighting?

I've tried AO and path tracing modes - same results...
