Please help me on how to illuminate the encircled part of the attached drawing. i used vray sun and vray hdri for the lightings. my camera is vray physical camera with shutter speed=125 & iso=80. i cannot adjust anymore the setting of my vray camera due to the exposure. ( maoverexpose)
Thanks for your reply. ^_^

Just add vraylights on your entrance and balcony if you want to illuminate those areas. Also, apply vraylightmtl on you lamps to add realism. 

But for this scene, I think it's just enough that it's not illuminated since it's a day scene. Use it only on night and dusk scenes.

thanks Sir bokkin,
I just see it as too dark cause in reality the ceiling light should be much more visible.  
How about the grain sir , how can i minimize the grainy of the dark/shadow area. if i try to zoom it , it doesn't look smooth.
Should the antialising filter will work if i change settings? Can you share some thoughts on how can i improve it more. Thank you and more power.  i hope later i can post my renders here in CGPinoy.

Try to link the sun to hdri and try to adjust the sun's altitude a bit lower like 10'oclock or 9'oclock just to see the difference. For the grain I think you need to adjust noise threshold to 0.005 or lower like 0.002 but it will add render time. Hope it helps!

HI Sir Lance, Thanks for the reply, i'll try to follow your advice and check it how it will differ on my first render.
