why vraySky is so dark when ther eis stronk vraysSun?

I’m using here vray sun plus vray cam and vray sky.
Got this results:

and I think the sky should look more like this:

Get out a real camera and test the settings. What you have in the second example is waaaaay too bright of a sky (but is a fairly common color in archiviz renderings)

Read up on the tutorials in the VRay help files about the sun+sky, you can affect the sky colors by changing values. The default out-of-box values of the vray sun and sky may not match up with your particular local.

i d say ur materials look wrong…not the other way around… :?

This deals exactly with the issue.
It also holds true for newer RCs where the sun/sky and camera ISO have a new model.

Since there is an issue with the sun/sky cam will having to darken textures still be required or is the issue no that big?
