The Luxology-rendering of large interiors with an according amount of lights is a little frustrating to me.
The final rendering took 50h 50m.
Even on the Modo-gallery I can´t discover similar interiors.
Great stuff Jacques, I agree with Louis 51 hours seems too long to me. Can you provide your machine's specs including what OS your are running. What is the resolution of the final render? You have several rendering here, which one took 51 hours?
I would like to have this model for performance testing if want to share it with me, I think I can greatly improve your render times without compromising quality.
Thanks

Thanks Louis, thanks Jerry,
I attached a new rendering of this interior, rendered with sun and sky in 3h 49m.
Jerry:
The rendering wich took 51 hours is the Arealights_IndBounces5_IrrRays2000.jpg.
I used interior better with these changes, resolution 2000 x 1097 px.
I´ll put together these project and I will post it in the next time.
Jordan,
You can create a material and assign to a RPC, for instance a good start would be 50% diffuse and zero specular. You can adjust the diffuse value to control the brightness of RPC.
