I am sorry if my response seemed offensive, but it seemed to me that you were stating that the VRaySun is always too intense to utilize max's shadow/light tools that depend on the same scale. To me, it is all simulation and I will use whatever I have to in order to accomplish my goal. Almost always for me, this goal is a visually pleasing end result, not a physically metered end result. The visual result of the VRaySun and VRaySky is the same at a lower intensity unexposed as an exposed result at full intensity.
Rather than fooling with f-stops and film isos, I prefer to fool with the intensity of the sun. It is obviously not possible to do this in reality...but we do have that sort of control in Max. I am certain if photographers could control the sun as opposed to their camera settings then they would jump at the opportunity
But I do understand that there are some situations where physically accurate lighting is necessary, such as if you must utilize manufacturer IES files or perform an energy analysis. I hope you find something that works for you
