Anyone know if it is possible to change the horizon height with Vray sky? I find it to be too foggy compared to my reference, and even after messing with ozone and other various effects, it often times just seems too… gray near the horizon. I’m sure this is realistic and physically accurate, but …

[image] Animation in v-Ray Sketchup the client is saying no post work can happen so it all has to happen in max. How this?? Do you deliver a .max file? I’m using sky/sun, for lighting/reflections, but always replace the sky background with photoshop.

Client wants blue sky, no background, from max. I’ve mentioned it would be cheaper, faster, and better to have a bit of comp but the client is king. I get where they are coming from however, they don’t have a dedicated max person on staff so they just want a quick 1 button solution to the problems…

You can separate the env. background from the Vray env. slots. Or you can use the same Vray Sky map for the background, but route it through a Color Correction map, for background only. That way you can saturate/desaturate the background sky. But the whole concept of client moving the camera aroun…

Raising 5000 feet didn’t change anything, but using a VrayCompTex with the sky in one channel and a very light blue in channel B on multiply seems to have solved the problem well enough for this case. I took it a step further and tried an HDRI in the place of the light blue VrayColor and actually h…

[image] Displacement trouble : render with white points ! But the whole concept of client moving the camera around is flawed, IMO. As soon as you move the camera you also have to tweak lighting/sun position, for optimal results. I understand and have explained this. I taught them how to cha…

[image] INTERIOR SCENE WITH GI I would love for the vraysun to see the hdri sky and cast shadows accordingly, but am unsure how to do that. Is this doable? I didn’t have a lot of luck with the procedural atmospheric gizmo noise clouds and photon mapping. Was hoping there was a pseudo haze tric…

[image] Help, material creation You can use a VRayPlane mapped with some procedural noise that is only visible for shadows (you can use VRayOverrideMtl material for this). Put it high enough above the rest of the scene and you should be able to get nice cloud shadows. Best regards, Vlado act…

Have you Tried the CLEAR mode of the Sky instead of PreethamETal. The clear mode for Vray sky gives much bluer skys, with less haze.

This worked wonderfully. Thank you Vlado.

Yes I am using clear mode currently, which allows me to adjust the indirect illumination of the sky which is nice.
