Lighting Interior Scenes

[Red333]

I've been playing around with max for a few days and was wondering what's the best way to light an interior scene (daylight) using the mental ray renderer. I'd like to avoid interior light sources if possible. Thanks in advance.

There is a good tutorial in your Max Help files that addresses this issue through the use of sky portals: http://docs.autodesk.com/MAXDES/13/ENU/Autodesk%203ds%20Max%20Design%202011%20Tutorials/index.html?url=./files/WS1a9193826455f5ff-e569a012180ce589131bb.htm,topicNumber=d0e23770
