Need help with realistik Lighting effect...

[(PSD) Sergiy]

Hello Fellas,
I am working on one image wich needs a Realistik Day Light. I would like to have a Daylight shining from the Window on my work space. But i canno`t figure out how to make that kind of effect. I have working with Lights for many times and i didn`t have any of the problems. But how to make that one?
Maybe you know some good Tutorials with Lighting, i would apreciate it

Thank you 8))

Good picture there, Sergiy.
Can?t wait to see it finished...
try giving your light a bit of yellow so it looks more like a daylight...
you could also you some "projector effect" to simulate the shadows of a tree outside the office. ;)
also depending on your app, try creating or simulating the radiosity effect...

Good luck!

Thank`s Tak for Reply,
I was trying to create something similiar, but i canno`t achieve this kind of effect anyhow. Below, there is one more example. i`m just rendering it. I Didn`t finish yet, i still have to render Bundle, probably Walls, few things to correct and figure out why does the light coming throught under the wall. I pulled it down in "-" Y direction and the still goes in. I was trying to interfeer it with other abjects, by putting them behind the wall. But its still getting through.
When i will finish i will post it here and if you got any recomendation, please share ;)

Attenuation -
You need a light with proper attenuation.
Put an omni light right over that part of the desk and attenuate it to fade before it gets to the far wall.

Personally, I would render a few different lighting passes and then comp them together in PS.

After long, long hours playing with light and texturing, here is something i come up. Plus those pictures on the wall are olmost exactly the ones i got in my room. I brought them from Ukraine, my grand dad saved them from the time of the war. I hope you like it

Sergiy, here is a simple post-compsiting trick.

The first thing you need is an ambient pass render. Everything is self-illuminated 100% and no shadows. However, there should be colour on the objects.

Then, change all of the materials on all of the objects to pure white.
Add a light to the scene and render.
For each light in the scene, do a seperate render. Don't forget to turn shadows on and maybe mess a little bit with attenuation (attenuation doesn't have to be perfect).
Maybe even do an occlusion/GI render.

Open them up in PS.
Put the ambient pass on the bottom.
Put all lighting passes over the ambient pass (cut-n-paste, drag-n-drop, or whatever).
Set all of the lighting passes to Multiply.
Then it's just a matter of playing with the lighting passes. You know, change opacity or clip some adjustment layers. Maybe even try a few other blending modes.
In this way, you can change the lighting with real-time feedback and tweak to your hearts content with out having to re-render everything.
You can even colourize the lights.

That is a very basic example of post-comp.
