Arealight and grey ceiling

Ah yes the old grey ceiling, I know it well! You can try a "distant" light in the middle of your room pointing straight up at the ceiling, it won't take much light. Other than that you can try spots pointing up or an ambient light in the middle of the room but that will flatten the scene too much I think.
Hope that helps.

Yes, just less light! Glad it helped.:smile:
Nice looking room. Cheetah seems to becoming a popular choice for interior and exterior visualisation.
Hi.
Please try to set the specular part of your material to black (0,0,0).
With kindest regards
Frank

You need a parallax correction wide angle lens for that shot. Cheetah and other 3d programs I've tried lack this feature though I'm told Cinema 4D will have this in it's Architectural package. The best you can do is square up your camera and adjust the shot.
man... i can't seem to get this done ... no matter wtf i do.
i have 4 area lights in a "box". material is plain white, specular is black.
a distant light doesn't seem to change anything.
someone willing to set up a simple scene really quick for me to compare?!
thanks guys,

Specular is, essentially, a computationally inexpensive approximation for reflection. One option would be to have some global render setting which would treat allow you to treat all specular settings as reflectivity and the hardness value as a blur angle ... this would let you quickly do test renders, flip a switch, and voila ray-traced gorgeousness.
The reverse option would be to have a render setting which treated reflection settings as specular and angle as hardness. Then you could have a "draft render" and a "final render" button which did the obvious things. (Global render presets are very useful things, especially for testing lighting setups -- along with being able to drag a rectangle in a viewport and render it.)
