Olá from Brasil… 
Hey guys, i have to setup this interior scene, it is at night (no sun) and it´s a graduation party. I think studio illumination is the key , i think some spots will be nice, and i dont know how to make it. can some body help me out… I tryed a lot of setting that i found here in chaos but any of them seems to be the one. Natty where are you? Help please…
Thanks in advance, sorry poor english… 
the file:
i forget where it is. but there is a document posted somewhere on here which is more or less a lighting guide. its located on the erco website somewhere but from what was said in here either its hard to find or it isnt linked directly. so just search the forum for it. i guess using the work erco to find it.
hey why dont you guys help me out ? Da_elf, i tryed in erco but i haven´t found a clue…
all you needed to do was do a search here on the forum.

Hi marcocohen
I think the key to doing a dark scene with no enviroment is to put lights in one by one at very low levels and keep rendering after each light … use different colour lights and try Volume lights to create some atomsphere…
Post your results 
Hey Nat finally, thanks for the replly, have you watched my scene? You are telling me to put lights, but what kind? vray lights ? With a small value, and different colours? I´ll try that…
Turn on your messenger so we can talk bud…
Best regards

Hey guys, this is the last render with the spots that Nat told me to use and i have placed 3 vray lights to, because it was damn dark and i couldnt make it became lighter…two in the back of the camera and one in the right corner of the stage, with multiplier=1. The spots are target spots, about 6 of them, vray shadows, multiplier=2 and a very light yellow color. Maybe or more like probably i´m completely wrong, and completely lost to. Anyway i´m not with shame anymore so here it is. hehe, i need help please.

Hi marcocohen
im not really sure what you are trying to achieve?
perhaps you should add a lot of coloured spots to create an atmosphere?
some volume light?
some materials?
these will all help towards what you are trying to get.
Thanks Nat, i will do more, it´s very unfinished, then i will post it again…
