Your interior lighting looks flat. Here's why, and how to fix it in Chaos Corona.
In this tutorial, we cover the core principles of interior lighting that make the difference between a render that looks artificial and one that feels real. Whether you're an archviz specialist or an interior designer, these techniques will immediately improve the quality and believability of your scenes.
What you'll learn:
→ Ground Planes — why adding a surface outside your windows is essential for realistic light bounce and natural color tones, even in high-rise scenes
→ Sun & Sky Control — how to simulate overcast conditions with the Sun Size parameter and balance sky hues using Color Correction nodes
→ Lighting Theory for Interiors — the three light types every interior scene needs: Natural Environmental, Practical/Artificial, and strategic Fill Lights for contrast and detail
→ Artistic Shadow Details — how to create convincing shadow patterns using tree cutouts without sacrificing render times, using the Clip Toggle setting
→ Pro Glass Settings — one quick change to your window glass that improves both realism and rendering performance

00:20 Ground Planes & Light Bounce
