V-Ray physical sky not referencing weather?

[snivlem]

Hi,

After some extensive tests i have I come to the conclusion that it seems that V-Ray skies is not referencing local weather. Yes this is correct. Not even remotely. I ran a number of extensive tests for example I took a photo of todays sky from my window today on my Cannon 1DMk7.



Now in V-Ray sun I enter in the same date and the exact same time and everything even seconds I took the picture and I get nowhere near the results. No clouds or anything! Look at the difference!



I wonder why noene else actually notice this?

Even yesterday when doing these tests I put in April 1st weather, but V-Ray sky showed me a blue sunny sky. But get this, it actually rained the next day! Like V-Ray didn't even know about the future weather???? Am I pointing my camera the wrong way when matching skies? Anyone know if this will be fixed in V-Ray 3.0? Or is my copy of V-Ray broken? Or does everyone in the world have blue sunny skies and only I can see cloudy weather????

This is seriously flaw.

How on earth can I compete with this kind of physically accurate works?

I bet it's fixed in the nightlies!

I thought the Vray sky setup as a daylight system would only represent the position of the sun, not the actual weather! Am I missing something?

It's a joke.

Now I feel stupid!

There's a much better simulation of weather in the vray 4.0 beta.

Sweet, thanks joconnell, will check the April 1st nightly build for any updates on this matter.
