white walls grey

[Anonymous]

i have been trying to render an interior for days that has white walls. It seems as though it doesn't matter how many lights I add or remove, how many times I tweak the element attributes, etc. etc., I still come up with gray walls. What am I doing wrong?

here are the settings for the light effects. For texture, in the internal engine settings I have checked surface, ambient, and bump mapping.

A tip of a day:
There is underestimated material setting called "Pipeline". When use carefully can be very helpful in getting white walls without crancking light up to the supernova bright value. Of course roughness is his friend.

Very nice and fine to see good quality out of ArchiCAD directly.

The lighting is rather soft and pleasing. Did you use Windowlights?

Could you please post the material settings?

Reflectance: Plastic

1.0
0.2
0.3
Colour: Pure white

Displacement: Rough
0.1
0.1

3

Pipeline:
Colour - 36,36,36
Attenuation - 0.0

is that rendered with lightworks?

As always

Did you use Windowlights?

To be honest I cannot tell for sure, it is an old project which has been modified since, but either it was combination of WindowsLights pointing up and down or LightCones pointing up and down. For interiors I found this solution to be most convincing and fast same time.
