I have taken a quick break from my "self" study to work on my lighting and rendering, here is the result so far.

I'm going for a daylight render, middle of summer with no clouds...

Set up with spot light for sun (10 degree cone) and several points inside the room

Global Illumination and final gather,

here is the reult so far, If anyone knows how to get rid of the artifact around the right ceiling light (what looks like white shaddows) without decreasing the photon intensity of the light please let me know!



Cheers

Jamie.
