Simulation of natural light (daylight)
It is possible to simulate natural light by placing large light sources near the outside openings.

Rendering with diffusedBounces = 0

How much ? biggrin

What locations ? shock

Is it a secret story ? laughing

Mixing the two would be better, but I don't see the articifial lighting inside... crying

No secret: just add to the plan a big source light very far from home.

At home, we call this: a SUN ! laughing

Nobody does not answer to my first two questions... crying

Re: Simulation of natural light (daylight)
Here is an image showing outside lighting to enhance the sunlight

In this example the smaller "daylight" sources are set to 70% and the larger to 80%

The actual positionimg and power are a matter of trial and error.

As said Emmanuel and Mike, there is no secret.

artificial lighting

Artificial light only

As you can see, with this type of rendering, the dark parts are those which are not affected by light.
