Hi folks!
Question: which of these renders look more "real" to you? My intention was to set up lighting, with the lightsource as little intrusive as possible, but to get a somewhat realistic brighness for (inside) a public toiletstall.
It can be done with only env-lights (HDRI is active all the time), but close the stall-door, and it gets unrealistically dark inside.
I don't want to plant lamps above, as I don't like them here (rather their behaviour together with bloom).
The brightness inside the stalls is more or less the same across all renders. Every stall has its own light and basically lights the stall propper, when doors are closed. But don't go pee...
Pointlights reside inside a cone (with no bottom, obviously), a lightcone ... if you will ;)
Meshlights are transparent, high outside render area, as not to create an accidental "bloomball".
Spotlights ... are special. This is as close as I got them to do what I wanted, but only in an emtpy stall ...
My favourite for the time being seems to be the meshlight, as it overall renders the fastest and has no odd shadows.
What do you think?
I prefer the mesh light setup out of the three. It just looks cleaner. The spotlights version has some wonky stuff going on with the shadows on the ground. I don't know how much you are willing to toy with postwork, sometimes I intentionally "under-expose" a render and recreate the desired lighting in GIMP.

Hey guys, I need a help!
I recently installed DAZ3D but I have no idea how to install / extract the assets for them to appear in the DAZ.

Could someone explain to me what I need to do? any example? I searched for tutorials but none solved my problem.

Depending on the way you installed the program, you have to identify your library folder in DAZ as well as the installation assistant. If you install manually, make sure you have the actual library folder you put stuff in. DAZ always messes around with the locations at first. Especially if you want a folder location that isn't the default.
