A subtle change. Changed the light decay to quadratic, dropped GI and compensated on the FG filter settings to get rid of the erratic bright splotches I was getting. To get a more realistic balance between the outside and interior illumination proved to be trickier than I thought it would be. Started off by disabling the interior lights, decided on an exposure setting of f11@1/60sec and then adjusted the outside light intensity until the window sill and exterior was correctly exposed (Brightness level). Then, I disabled the exterior light, enabled the interior lights and opened the exposure by four stops to f4@1/60 and then adjusted the interior light intensities until the inside was correctly exposed. (Did a test with my DSLR to see the average exposure difference between a brightly lit interior and outside. Average is 3 to 4 stops) Final step was to enable the outside light. The final render was f5.6@1/60. The outside was too blown out at 4 stop difference.

My first wobbly steps in the world of organic modeling. Still need to complete the rigging section so for now the scarecrow pose will suffice user added image

Thanks Dave. Watched the first couple of sections of the rigging tut and realised rigging is not as straight forward as I first thought it would be. Will need to a lot of reading before I start it.
