Why is it that the shadows in my rendered image never look like my shadows in my sketchup scene? I find the shadows in my rendered scene suck....there is no contrast. It almost seems like there isn't any. I have light filtering through my window and into my space in the rendered image...but no shadows...it's weird.

Re: V-ray sun
I've looked through the forum and haven't had any luck finding answers. I changed both my GI and background setting to sky. I realise this question probably comes up a lot which must get annoying. IT's so weird because the shadows in my rendered image are in different places then my sketchup scene. -
Re: V-ray sun
You need to set the physical camera and in the environment roll-out, GI - sky - check 'override suns paramenters' (I usually also set the sun size multiplier to 3 to soften the shadows)
The latest SR! picks up the sun position from SU, but a bug in the earlier release means you have to keep re-setting this.
Sun re-set bug
In the environment - GI (Skylight) roll-out untick "Override Sun's parameters", hit 'apply' and then tick it again, and hit 'apply' again, that usually does the trick.
(In other words you have to completely re-set this option after any changes in sketchup)

Re: V-ray sun
Hey David,
I figured out how to get the sun's shadows to work properly for exterior renderings which is great! Thank you. For some reason, it doesn't seem to work for interior renderings. I am guessing it has something to do with the sunlight passing through the glass window. I made sure that the "affect shadows" box was checked to fake the caustics feature. (If that made any sense). I am getting some shadows in the interior rendering but they do not match my sketchup shadows from the sun. Any ideas?Comment
