Jeff Mottle Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Depends what time of the day and year. My direct lights are usually in the orange, peach color, blue/white, and blue depending upon the effect I'm trying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 not sure if this helps, but it is a tutorial some guy is assembling on sun color and shadow color at different times of day. http://www.itchy-animation.co.uk/light.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D_IC Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I saw the RGB colour chart for the sun colour too, but that was years ago on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic H Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 where on earth and through what camera are these values? sun colour is serious business it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 where on earth and through what camera are these values? sun colour is serious business it seems Maybe through a camera with a Mylar filter!?! I'd have thought the Sun's RGB would be something like 1,000,000/1,000,000/1,000,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Has anyone ever made a HDRI of the Sun? Like, a close-up? Can you imagine the f/stop and/or shutter-speed bracketing that you'd have to do to pull that off. "Well, I start around 1/10,000th of a second and went from there..."

Klokwerks Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This gives you some good examples of colors different types of lightsources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokwerks Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Then again... it really depends many values as previously stated. Such as where in world, what time of day, what month, type of lens on camera, etc. Are doing some kind of shadow study or trying to replicate an exact lighting for scenario for a scene?
