#Realistic lighting overhaul too dark windows

The site pic was just a quick shot by the client and there is no other contributing light other than that from the sun. A detailed comparison at this time would be a bit premature as the actual project is still a month or so away from completion. The overall brightness of the scene is more of a personal choice, just wanted that look. All of the items are CA models including the chair, how they look is dependent upon how they are lit and how you adjust the material properties. The yellow cast is the result of some color added to the sun and the interior lights, there is no paper like covering on the windows. If anything though the PBR is too bright, but I suppose the weather outside in real life is a little drab? What's your own take on this comparison?ДЄll of the light fixtures are used as is the sun. If that chair is in the standard library I might have to place it somewhere just to see what it looks like. Other than 'place the things' what type of stuff did do you do additionally? The yellow light through some 'paper like' cover on the window casts interesting shadows that might be the core trick? BTW, anything with a rope light will take a min of an hour for a RT. Sorry for all the questions and attachments.

This house with all the windows on the east and west side,В should be very bright. Not a expert on Lumion or Twinmotion, but willing to learn them. However with the RT view, the foyer view is very dark and the view showing the FP is pretty descent. As you can see the PBR is not even close esp.В at the column or the mantle. The wall color is SW 6252, trim is SW 6246 attached the swatch's so you can see where I need to go.

I've attached views from the entry of this house (standard camera, a PBR camera and a Ray Trace (10 passes), and two looking back to the entry from nook (RT & PBR). This def helped my standard view, but how do I get the either the RT or PBR to show more accurate? I know I, as others have, kinda gotten frustrated on all these settings we are to know, and margins are not big enough these days to pay someone else to do this work, especially, IMO,В when Chief should run a decent RT or PBR right out of the box.
