Lighting a room

Hello,

I started to use Daz Studio and I'm trying to light a room from the outside. Something like in this photo. This one it's made in maya with mental ray, but I'm sure I can achieve better results with v-ray.

My question is: what should I do to get this kind of shadow throw glass. If you know a tutorial or you can write it here it would be really helpfull.

Best regards

    Use a distant light set to shine through the windows. Use Thin Glass shader for the glass in the windows and the table. Turn on the Architectural Sampler too.

    Thank you for your replay, but I'm not sure how to use thin glass shader and where can I find Architectural Sampler

    To use the Thin Glass shader, select the Glass in the scene tab; open the surface tab and select the Glass; find the Iray default shaders and apply the Thin Clear Glass one. The Architectural Sampler is under Render Settings/Optimization.

    Thanks... I found it but I got one more question. When you siad to set the light shine through the windows you ment just to point it to the window right? Because i still dont get it to work

    Sorry ito was my mistake that the light was too dim

    To get more light increase the Lumens or go to Tone Mapping and change the settings to let more light into the camera. To change the colour of the light set the Temperature, lower is warmer/redder, higher is cooler/bluer.
