sun/sky system

[kpavlov]

Anyone had experience with sun/sky system in newer vray beta build.
I use sky map in enviroment and vray sun as light but when I render it the picture is white like its overburned.
What am I doing wrong.

either lower the multipliers a lot or use color mapping

[DaForce]

yeah like 0.001 or so. (maybe lower) just keep going until you get it ok.

I would recommned that instead of using color mapping.

[kpavlov]

Thanks guys. Do you have any ideal settings. Or are there any ideal settings from Vlado.
And by the way how to rid of too much blue color in shadows caused by sky light.
I used to desaturate HDRI to solve that but what do I do here.
I use exponental color mapping 3 for dark and 1.7 for light and its still too blue.

hi kpavlov,
use output for the enviroment, and put the vRay sky map inthere.
so you can adjust it.

I think the sun is set to a 1000 times brighter than a normal vray light .. so as DaForce said 0.001 is a good starting point, the sun in the newer builds has a lower level of intensity.

it also depends on what version your using

[kpavlov]

1.49.25

[Da_elf]

might be better not to talk about it on the forum then. most of us testers chat back and forth on msn

[kpavlov]

Ok, than remove this topic.

[Da_elf]

well the sun system has been discussed plus a semi-public release was offered so its ok to discuss this.

[RErender]

There has been no "Official" statement not to discuss it...

[Da_elf]

thats what i was saying in my last post. that the sun sky is ok to chat about since its been showcased alot but with the version he has i kinda meaning that there are other things in the closed beta versions that we dont mention on the forum. but he hasnt mentioned any so its cool (just my way of getting him on my msn list heheeh)

[chicoone]
