    What are you trying to accomplish here, exactly?

    If you go to the render tab, then check out the "Render Engine". By default, it should be "Iray"

    I assume that you are rendering with the default setting, so that should be "Iray" and "Dome and Scene".

    Also, you are rendering in a closed room, where the only light seems to be the coming from the side, and from the small glow.

    The scene setup looks good, I like the dynamics in it. smiley

    Can you please also post your scene settings, so that we can see what light sources you are using?

    So, what effect do you want to achieve? Is the image too dark, no light from the right side? Please let us know. If it appears too dark, it could be a simple case of adjusting your tonemapping, or enter more lights into the scene.

     

    This tutorial offers a good intro into Iray. Some of the lights were named differently when 4.9 came out; basically, you do not have separat lights for Iray and 3DL inside of the default lights that you can insert, but they are combined.

    The second post is a thread which has, in the middle parts, some examples about lights and tonemapping:

    In the Render Settings pane, go to the Editor tab.

    Looking at the renders you have posted, they look to me that they were done using 3Delight rather than iRay, and 3DL has no tone mapping.

    Edit: I missed you last render, of just the dress in the corridor, that does look like iRay

    You are in Parameters...you need to be in Render Settings.  It should be the one below the Cameras...

  • I don't have the render settings tab. I'm doing something wrong?
