Try to add maybe lights outside and daylight to your sky.

I have a sun (just no flare) "sundirection / -50 50 0" and "suncolor / 30 30 30"

to mohaa_rox: Are you saying to use ambient lighting? srry, i dont really get what you mean, it was a little vague, maybe you were a little out of it cause you posted it at 3am! :lol:

I tried puting little point-based entity lights by the windows but it just does not look like daylight coming in throught the window.

Anyone else know?

thnx!

I just messed with the point based lights untill they looked right, then put one by every window or homle in a house ... will this be bad for the maps speeds or anything?
