Too dark shaded areas

Hi to all, I am a new user. I have a strange effect in an exterior scene.
Dark matte metal, nice on the sun side, complitely black in the “GI” side.
If I increase exposure to see it it burns all the rest.
Is there any tricky settings to turn on?
Thank you

Hi,mate,
You can try the following advice:

  1. Turn off or Turn on the “auto exposure” button in the “Effect” and adjust the prameters.
  2. Place the lights towards the backside of your metal.
  3. Open the “Base color” and increase the prameters of the “Color intensity”

Great, AUTO was off and it already get a nice result. Thank you
It’s just hard to get a “photorealistic” effect on the overall, like other reference I have seen, but I will work on it.
Thank you
