    Dear God... Easy one-click solutions for convincing evening/night-time skies?! I can't express how happy I am to finally see something like that! I'm doing a lot of vampire-themed art for a documentary project, but those particular settings are going to be especially useful with Hallowe'en and Christmas coming up!

    The only thing missing for Iray now is a similar easy way to create stormy weather and/or strange sky colours for alien worlds.

    nice :-) I agree nighttime skys are a need for iray.   I actually found some of the space HDRI settings  that was releaed the start of the month works great for "nightime" if you adjust the dome or what ;-).  but more options would be great!

  • Those look as spookily atmospheric as I was hoping Iray would easily give, but the set-up is annoyingly complicated, not just because of direction, but because of having to manually figure out lighting settings. I seriously need this as soon as possible!

    Which setting would be best for authentic North America? 'Canada' or 'Mexico'?

    I agree with the others very useful looking set, is it possible to see how the sun/sky presets function outside.

    I'll get some renders done tomorrow so you can have a look.

    Nice product. Once I figured out to manually switch to 'scene only' in the environment settings, the weather/night time conditions look great!

    I only wish that the gobo light set-up came with even one default camera, as a starter for those of us not so familiar with using them. 

    And a a question to those in the know. Can the horizon be adjusted/eliminated in sun/sky mode to suit the camera angle? It's the one thing that puts me off using this setting. 

    Thanks again for a cool product.

    Have one for me, as I can't now afford to buy my own. :)

    (kidding of course)

    Oh, of course you are. cheeky But don't worry, I can say no when I can't think of a use... This I'm sure will get used sufficiently that I won't regret it for one second.

    There should be a button under the environment tab that says 'draw dome', click it to the 'off' setting to remove the sky completely.

    To change the horizon settings, you need to play with the Dome orientation dials which are underneath the 'off dome' setting.

    Thanks. I just figured out the SS Horizon Height works to get rid of the grey horizon line :)

    ETA: actually horizon blur possibly works better. As it keeps the tonal variation in the sky.

    I wasn't sure over this one.  I hmm-ed and haw-ed long into the day.  Then I thought: It's by ForbiddenWhisper, when has she 'done me wrong' with a product?  So mouse pointer inched closer to 'add to cart;.  The I thought, "it's not only got light presets that both portray real-life situations, they will do so at a click of a button, time and again", so the mpouse pointer drifted over the 'add to cart' button.  But then.  Oh dear, but then, the thought crosses my mind .. "the expense, just how much?  Can such a thing be justified, especially as it's pampering to addiction?" and, as I clicked the button, my mind replied, "oh come on, it's Anna and it's chocolate-covered prtezels, be nice!" ;)

    And there was me thinking CPA was something to do with accountants?  Whodathunkit behind that dour exterior of mind-numbingly bean-counterish exterior was a festering bed of addiction ... ;)

  • Still curious how you managed to produce this image!

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/uploads/FileUpload/fa/aafd26b7a18a1f8b961be4794b8d11.jpg

    There's a great lighting set for clear moonlight (which will get much use), but no night-time skies. The above looks like an Iray render setting image which has both a moon and clouds. Is it meant to have been included?

  • This is a great product as are many of your other products. But please reduce the length of the file names. I'm having huge problems working with some of your more recent products because the file names are so long that Windows 7/8/10 can't handle them. If the names of nested files and folders exceed a certain length then Windows chokes, throws up messages about this limit and prevents moving and copying the files. I know this Windows limitation is a PITA but it's not going to disappear any time soon so there has to be a way to work with it. It may not be a problem for those who use the download manager but for those of us who like to download and install the files manually it's a real problem. It's also presents a problem storing these downloads on backup media. Please consider reducing the file names to solve this problem.

    I have windows 7 and constantly use the DIM to download products and install them manually, as I have several runtimes set up for testing purposes. I've never had this problem you speak of for installing products with long file names. I've got more than one PC with windows 7 as well as a laptop and this has never been a problem with either machine. If it had id have changed things. It may be a problem with your machine and not the product.

    No, sorry the image was added in photoshop.
