interior lighting - need help

I get the worst results with lamps… this was supposed to light up the scene a bit, instead it gets it all dotted and the lamps just burn out when any light is givven to the scene…

can anybody give me some pointers scince I’m unable to fugure this out.

thanks ahead for any help, gerry

yikes! are you using an emmissive material by any chance? Try using a vray light first.

are you using emissive material? This tutorial will help you. nomeradona ...: Nomeradona Definitive Lighting Guide part 2

I tried emmissive material but that did not light up the scene, so this is a vray light, first thing I’d like to understand is where the disco effect comes from…

thanks for helping

thanks adona,

I’ll study your tutorials which might avoid a lot of silly questions… great that there are people like you willing to share their capacities…

kind regards, gerry

again, do not use emissive materials for lightning sceenes. just to simulate the intensity of the lamp material. to illuminate sceenes you can uses any kind of artificial lights: rectangular lights, omni lights or ies lights.
see you around.
