Quality (day light) exterior renders...!!

[jasonio]

I know three ways to do this (no.3 being my new favorite :) ):-

1. Make a sphere, with a constant shader, texture it with a texture of the sky. Use final gathering and a point light with very low intensity 0.1.
2. Use a HDRI image of the sky in a new render pass by selecting, new render pass > image based lighting.

3. Go here (http://www.xsibase.com/forum/index.php?board=29;action=display;threadid=27552;start=0) at XSIbase and install the physical sky plugin. And link it to a point light as demonstrated in the example scene. Use FG, switch on shadows for the point light.

It doesn't look like your windows are reflecting an HDRI map? More like they are reflecting a white dome. Or maybe your glass shader need a tweak. Or what is it about your render that you don't like? Still, I would recommend going through tutorials.
