Some shaders are not working and I used LW9.3 these settagi:
150% light Sunspot inverse distance 1 km, 2 cone and soft edge .55.
Kray: range 1.7 exposure 1.7. Photon power 1.1 render preset High.
correct? need more light? how can I not create too lit areas if the increased power of the sun?
Thanks for your important recommendations

Washing renders...looks raytracing
Power in Kray You have totaly big... I thing good idea is make this parametr maximum 0.2-0.3, and recurse 20;
Forget lights from outside (use only blue background for reflection) rest light from Area light outside room (around 1-2 m behinde windows , 30 % smaller then windows , inverse dist 2 , colour blue + Shader Power around 20-50)
Of coarse this will make dark render ...but next You must put on ceiling around 4 small area light per room (orange or beige colour) with big Power Shader around 100-150.
Exponential 2.0. .. this is my sugestions.
btw : if You use sun Turn On Power shader for this (colour beige) around 6-10.
Background view must have Raytracing Shader and "Unseen by radiosity"

I guess you are using Lightmap. My suggestion is similar to johny's. Try quick LWF plugin - gamma 2.2 and gamma 2.2 in Kray GUI. Photon power in Kray GUI 0.1-0.2 (to make darker shadows), add power multiplier to Sun (20-30) (to get more light for sun). Next you can use area lights like johny said or use luminous skydome with power.
Light must bounce, warm color from sun, blue from sky....

but this setup iss for kray rc2?
why color blue?

this setup is with LW 9.3 and Kray 2 RC1.4.
Many tools do not work.
Today I downloaded the new release of Kray.
I expect better performance

which tools do not work? Why are you using LW 9.3 btw? You miss out on some kray goodies in 9.6 this way.

thanks for the advice.
From today I have LW 9.6 and Kray 2
Soon you submit to you more images.
Today I did a test and finally all the instruments work very well
For previous images I had to use the trick ..
thanks
