good products for simple Iray interior lighting?

Toobis

I'm basically after something that just generally lights up interior scenes with Iray lighting with simple application. Nothing fancy. Just your average room lighting type deal. Any products that anyone can recommend?

just create a primitive and make it emissive, simple and effective and free. i use this product a bunch when doing this. just create a primitive, position and then apply a light shader to it and adjust

Hi Toobis, for most of my scenes I use a freebie from Second Circle (on DeviantArt) to do my character lighting, I've bought and tried lots of other light kits but keep going back to this. I tend to use the provided backdrop "environment" to move the lights into position and then hide it.

Then if I need more light in the background I either steal an unused light from this set and move it to where I want the light or add a ghost light from KindredArts "Iray Ghost Light Kit 2", which looks to no longer be for sale but they have this instead: https://www.daz3d.com/iray-ghost-light-kit-one

I find this to be a quick way to get good room lighting with minimal effort.

Hope this helps.

My standard lighting is just three spotlights, one in front and two on the back, one left, one right.

When the "cm^2 Factor" in Tone Mapping is set to 10, the Lumen values for the lights can be set based on real world values and the scene is well lit.
