vray Sun

[nodar1978]

hi guys

I'm using vray sun and vray phisical camera for exterior, and its too blue, how can i change the color for sun, when I'm changing the map in environment, even with shiny sky, everything is too dark?

i found some answers here:

1. increasing turbidity will also make it orangish

2. Adjusting the ozone to a lower setting helped also

but it doesnot help

Hi Nodar,

 

You cannot change the colour values of the Vray sun/sky systems because they are set up to be physically correct. The colours change as in nature depending on time of day and therefore the sun's position in the sky.

 

What you need to look for is the white balance settings in the Vray physical camera settings. Make sure this is set to Daylight and this will compensate for the blue-ish tint in your images. If your image is too dark that's because it is underexposed. You need to adjust either your aperture or shutter speed settings to allow more light in as you would on a real camera.

No i think In My Opinion you can Play With Turbidity And ozone...it will give you the result...

Hello All,

 

Have been trying my hand at vray for sketchup the past couple of days. I read somehwere about turning on the vray sun by typing the command sunlight in SU.

What gives? Help appreciated

I disagree. Its the whitebalance setting. These settings are for a simmilar effect but its not to serve the same function.

Try reducing the Saturation value in the Post-Processing section of the Vray Indirect Illumination tab. The default value is "1", but we typically use something like ".5" to reduce the saturation of secondary lighting, such as skylight from the Vray sky.

 

The Contrast Value can also be reduced from the default "1" (e.g. ".75) to control image contrast balance.

 

All of these things are linked to your Vray Color Mapping method & settings of course, so your final solution will probably be a combination of setting adjustments rather than a single tweak to your Vray lighting setup.
