<p>In lighting tab change the number of available light channels to 3 or 4 (we have max. 8 channels available). In sun tab set sun channel to 1 and skylight to channel 0. Group artificial lights to other channels, according to some eventual grouping logic (spots in separate channel, floor lamps in other etc.) You can then change the value of each light channel raising or lowering the light channel power in channel panel during the rendering or later, after the rendering is stopped, you save…</p>

Group artificial lights to other channels, according to some eventual grouping logic (spots in separate channel, floor lamps in other etc.) You can then change the value of each light channel raising or lowering the light channel power in channel panel during the rendering or later, after the rendering is stopped, you save result to native nxt image file and open it in nxt image editor. There you can play with light channels as well as with other effects like haze, glow and vignette. If you want night shot, simply set sun and sky value to 0 or almost zero (like 0.001). If you want daytime rendering, turn off artificial light channels off setting them to 0.</p> How do you turn the sun level…tag:accurender.ning.com,2012-12-12:6293855:Comment:786802012-12-12T05:13:14.645ZIan Foster Griffithhttps://accurender.ning.com/profile/IanFosterGriffith

<p>Will try this channel method and see if that gives me the control.</p>

<p>I think the quickest way to get what you want is to use channels. Put the sun on channel 0, the sky on channel 1 & the interior lighting on channel 2. Thus you will have 3 channels in the advanced tab. Once your rendering has cooked for a little while you can adjust each of the slides for the 3 channels and get the look you are trying to achieve.</p>

<p>I think that if you use path tracer exterior renderings should look better, but if you have lights inside the house I am afraid you'll wait forever the tracer to solve the scene. In other words, the inside of the house will be full of fireflies (at least that is my experience). If you turn internal light channel off, fireflies should disappear.</p>
