white walls

[lucyd]

hi buddies

just doing a few interior test. having difficulty lighting an interior white wall. get great shadows and global light. but why are my white walls always grey. i have tried different colour light sources, still cant get it white. i think it might be my material set up. i know that this might be a generic max question, but does anyone have any ideas. its really bugging me

thanks

it sounds like you arnt getting enough light into the space....
you could tell the walls to recieve more gi ... in the vray system properties.

If you ask an object to recieve more GI, does that affect the rest of the scene? Or does it work like self illumination?
