Help with rendering
The ray trace looks great but the lighting is really dark. Any way to help lighten up the room?

Hi. You can use much higher values for ambient occlusion and sunlight intensity. Version X3, right?

you need to adjust the properties via the icon at the top of the ray trace window. Next to the picture export icon. Increase the contrast, intensity and saturaton settings to your liking.

I don't think adjusting the image properties will cut it. Try Ozgur's comment above. You might need to add a point light behind the camera. You can turn it's shadows off so they don't compete with the shadows from your other lights.

How about some of both? I find that if I have normal lighting in a scene that adjusting the image properties works pretty well.

I wrote a primer on interior lighting & raytracing with X3 Here. It might be helpful.
