Indigo Renderer Forum

Hi eveyone!

I'm testing indigo 0.9 with Maxigo exporter 0.9.

I'm still new but it seems all clear enough.

Udner the Environment tab (maxigo) I active "Skylight", and inside my scene I insert a "Daylight" system of 3dsmax, in this way I can choose Date\Time for my rendering. And all works correctly

Now I'd like to know if it's possible to eliminate the sun from my scene, obtein only a "cloudy-day" illumination (manteining Date\Time information).

Thank you very much!

I think you can't. At least there is no option for making sun to disappear. Use blue background color for cloudy look.

handedit the igs to a sun position of 0 0 0 and the sun disappears^^

Really? Didn't know that.
Thanks for the info.

at least, that's what manitwo said more than once^^

maybe you need HDRI for SkyDome

for a cloudy day, you either need the extremely slow new sky system, which supports clouds (which are even slower^^)
or you need to use a HDRi, as vux suggested^^

Simple blue background does it very nicely.
Just try it.

well cloudy day lighting would be more like a constant grey'ish white

Just get a photo of a cloudy day and sample the RGB value of that and use that as a background colour for lighting

Check out this cool Free HDR Sky collection from evermotion, I'm using them very often...

No Date\Time information but perhaps it helps you...

welcome to Indigo dude!
