Need help with trees lightning

Hi, i always have this problem, whenever I create a scene with a lot of vegetation, especially large trees, everything becomes very dark. I see renders from other artists where this doesn't happen. Can anyone help me?

 

I want to do something like the last image, the other two are renders that i have done, do u see the 'problem', anyone have any advice for me? Thanks

You don't mention which Max, which plugins, renderer or plant libraries you are using which would help. But, you could add a light and create a selection set that is just the trees. Set the light to 'Include' just those trees and turn the light up till it looks good.

I think part of the problem is that you may not understand some of the basic fundamentals of 3ds Max and need to do a few tutorials. Google or use Max's Help file to learn about creating a light and then using the function "Include" and "Exclude" to have the light cast on only the items you want lit by it. There are a LOT of tutorials that cover lighting. Once you've done a few I think you'll see right away how to make your renders better.
