These settings seem to have worked ok. - white is finally white!

 

Exposure value: 13

Mid Tones: 0.65

Shadows: 0.1

White Point: 6250

Saturation: 1.25

Hope someone will find this useful.

@jche - great suggestions I'm definately gona try those settings on an exterior rendering in the future, all my renderings appear very grey, that being said any suggestions for settings on an interior rendering? I'm working with a perspective floor plan that I'd like to get up to marketing quality but there is little contrast in my rendering.

Any suggestions would be great.

Allison, I would still do it as an exterior rendering since you don't have a roof or ceiling - kind of like taking a photo of a physical model in a daylight. Biggest difference between the two settings (interior vs exterior) in Revit as far as I could figure out is the strength of the exterior light - it is sort of a simulation of the aperture size on a camera lens adjusted for darker interior light which in result make the outside light coming in through window very bright. Try the settings I posted as a starting point and go from there - unfortunately as life has it the same setting won't work as good for every rendering so definitely you'll have to screw around with those for a while to get a result you want. Good luck!

Photoshop will always improve a render, too.  I don't invest to much time into tweaking render settings before dumping it into photoshop... they're too twtichy.

Thanks the natural lighting settings helps a bit, but any suggestions how to turn off the shadows? They are coming in and making parts of the rendering pretty dark, Ideally if the view was illuminated by natural light but without shadows it would have the best color rendition.

 

- unfortunately I havent used photoshop before ...

allison-

 

what do you mean by shadows? it looks like you have one? interior light and are using the sun for illumination, obviously objects cast shadow.  You might have to crank up the wattage of the interior lights if the sun is on to get the effect your looking for.

I mean literally turn off the shadows, I want a full illuminated, (not nessesarily accurate to the lighting I've added) just evenly lit, realist rendering that shows the space and the materials, the lighting of this rendering is not the important part as much as showing the contrast of materials and space, but I want it to be illuminated not shadowy and dark. I find the shadows cast by the natural light coming through the exterior windows distracting.

you could always turn the view to 'realistic' and skip the whole rendering thing altogether.  It would look a lot like sketchup.

 

you can always render at 3am and turn your exposure way up too.
