sun and sky questions

[Sandking]

I wanted to create a hazy day look and put 0.1 intensity on my sun but i see that shadows are still quite strong even though image is darker. How to get softer shadows with sun settings?

I also changed sky intensity and it looks as if it didn't do anything. What's the purpose of it?

It's a workaround but perhaps a shadowless fill light positioned at the same point as the sun might help. It's a trick that worked well for me in Povray, but haven't tried it in Vray yet.

Also, here's a list of color readings for various natural lighting situations pulled from lightsys for Povray:

SI_C =EmissiveSpectrum(ES_Illuminant_C); // daylight 249 244 255 0.976470588 0.956862745 1

@Sandking, Sun has Size param - increase size to get more blurred shadows.
