darken the shadow color/contrast from vray sphere light

[chow choppe]

hi

i am using a vray sphere light for an exterior scene

Also working in LWF . my shadows from that vray sphere are very dull

i want to increase the contrast of shadows to make them more darker towards black.

 

Any ideas?

 

or using a shadow pass is the only way to improve those?

 

thanks

but i am too far now into the project now. have setup everything.

And i am using gamma correction 2.2 color mapping?

A little photoshop S curve could fix that.

Lower the intensity of your environment light. The shadow doesn't come from your direct light, the shadows are just areas illuminated by only the skylight and receiving no direct light.

Why a sphere light? Why not a vray sun/sky? That will probably give you the contrast you're after.
