but they're terribly overlit!

I've got one light at an (i believe) fair distance, an HDRI image on the sky and... I really don't know what's overlighting it so terribly, any ideas?

Reason i'm asking and not fiddling, is because my computer sucks harder than a dead goldfish, and the render took me 4.5 hours.

You got to specify what renderer you are using, what software, what settings you are using for the lights and global illumination. For instance, the overlighting can be caused by a light with too much intensity, if the decay is set to none and/or you have no attenuation set up the distance of the light in relation to the object will have no visible effect. If you are using Vray you should turn of default lighting if you use only an HDRI for lighting.

But there are a lot of other possibilities.

PS. what are those weird rays coming from the centre of those bottles? Looks extremely odd.

'm not really sure what Cinema 4D uses for a renderer by default >.>;
I can get nice results with it though ^^ It's just not really that fast, or is that inhibit to my component lacking computer?

Anyway, the weird lines coming from the bottles, I honestly have no idea.
