Lighting an Interior Nighttime Scene Using IES Lights - Photographic Rendering with V-Ray for SketchUp - page 98

Not only does that alteration give us a much subtler ambient lighting effect, but we
also get (although both effects may be a little difficult to see here), a reduction in the
perceived saturation of color bounce in the scene. As what we have here is pretty
much exactly what I wanted from this basic ambient light setup, I am going to stick
with the GI (skylight) and HDRI option for now and build the rest of my interior light
rig on top.
Note
If you are wondering why we are not trying out the V-Ray Dome light on this oc-
casion, the simple truth is that in such low-light conditions, the extra noise gen-
erated by the dome light on interior renders would be extremely difficult to clean
up and would certainly prove costly in terms of the render time required. I would
again though, for the sake of experimentation that leads to understanding, en-
courage you by all means to give the Dome light a try and evaluate the results
that you get from it.
