Lighting Fixes

So after I had shown florian the lighting of my main hall he suggested that I make things a lot brighter as it would make things difficult to see, and the all the things I had built would be for nothing.

As you can the first image is quite difficult to see, although it did seem like the effect I wanted at first however it was difficult to see any of the objects I was trying to illuminate.

here I played around with the settings to achieve a better result I decided that I wanted it slightly brighter. however when speaking with my supervideo he suggested to make it brighter to guarantee that the audience can see everything. 

I wanted to adjust my lighting once I had added in the props just so I got the right effect I was looking for from the environment.

This is my final result of the environment's lighting, it's exactly what I was looking for it wasn't too bright that it would take away the effect I was going for and it wasn't to dark that you couldn't see anything, I created a flat sphere in the drain and added a surface material to it and gave the material a glow effect to turn it into a light source. I found things in this stage of the project experimental as It was mainly adjusting values and adding and removing lights get a certain effect, I think it went well I think it could of been a lot better if it was mental ray there would have been more realism involved.
