  • VraySun/Sky acting strange in window reflections

    Any ideas why the sun and sky doesn't give me a realistic light intensity/reflection in the window?
    Same happens with total reflective material.

    See example3, this is the sun directly towards the camera lens. I don't think this looks realistic, too burnt out?! Using the PRG Clear Sky VraySky model.
    And example 4, this is how the sky/light looks on the building. Same camera, same sun. All is with linear color mapping.

    In my opinion, if the sun is THAT burnt out with a camera towards it, then the light intensity on other objects should be a lot brighter.
    Try shooting right towards the sun with a real life camera, it's nowhere like that.

    So what could be happening? Thanks!

    I'm not understanding the issue. Which result is the desired one? Could you also share the scene so we can troubleshoot it?

      This is more like the wanted effect, but my windows does not seem to reflect the sky and/or sun properly. I believe I sent the scene to you earlier on, and got a response from one of your support people, however, we didn't resolve it.

        Well, judging by the images you've sent, you need to add a Lens Effect layer in the VFB. An HDRI with a Sky will also bring more realistic results.
