I am very impressed with the new functions espcially the camera. This is just a re-working to get a grip on the new toys. Not meant to be a final image just a test.
the lighting looks great on this - what new functions did you use for the image?

This was a vray sky/sun/camera. First attempt really fun and I have to say it has the possibility of considerably changing my workflow.
The light has a lot of life, I like this sun/sky stuff! 
You really captured that golden desert lighting Sawyer! Nice job.
Great lighting!
