No light in Raytrace View

[Mr Oz]

Hi - I am creating a simple visual of a living space. Its just four walls ie no other rooms. It doesn't seem to matter what I do or what options I choose the raytrace is really dark. I have added three lights, the sun is set to 'on' and I've even cranked up the interior and daylight ambient settings in 3D defaults but the visual still renders super dark so you cannot see any detail with the flooring etc.

I'll attach a raytrace which is been through 14 passes on quick settings. As you can see Its way too dark. The 3D view prior to hitting raytrace is super bright but none of that brightness carries through to the raytrace for some reason.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Oz,

What kind of lights? Where are they pointing? I think posting the plan might be a good idea otherwise we are just guessing.
Are you using X5?

Whenever you have problems, and you do not want to post the plan, I suggest you call tech support. I think that is what they are there for, to help you out.

I wish we had Moon settings that could be turned on to help with scene lighting? Or, having a fireplace that gives off lots of light would be good ... has anyone tried that yet?

Try doing an "add light" andc see if that helps.

Try this and see if it helps.



And if not post the plan as Scott says.
