Highlight underside

Hey all,

I’m starting to work professionnaly with D5 and I’ve got a litlle issue.
Perhaps you have a solution for me.
When I make a scene and place my camera from the floor, I see underside of balcony. And my light come from the sky, these faces are dark.
I’ve have the same pb when I make an aerial view, terrace and loggia are shadow. I know, in other program, we can play with GI and have more light.
Is there any workaround with D5 te get this ?

Thanks
Mick

Are you using Sky or HDRI light? I’ll suggest using a powerful, almost non-shadow projecting HDRI, and playing with exposure, local shadows exposure and contrast for that scene only (you can try these 3 parameters with your actual light setup).

I hope it helps.

Hey Manu
Thanks for your help
I’m using HDR with sun?
I like the mood given with this HDR.
I’ve ever tried to tweak these parameters.
For this picture, I’ ve put a white material and increase level with photoshop.

Then I will choose another HDRI just for that camera.

One thing I’ve learnt is that, sometimes, even if you like the general mood very much, you just need to change it to show specific things in your model.
