Default Little Cheetah3D 4.2 preview - 25.05.2007, 14:09

Hi,
here is a small preview of an upcoming feature. It is a sky light. It claculates the light coming from the sun and the sky.

This scene was just illuminated by the sky light. No HDRI, Image based lightning, etc.

Bye,
Martin

That looks very good - what kind of render time did that take?

So do you basically calculate HDRI lighting?

If so do you do "moonlight", sunset, and sunrise?

Wow, that looks absolutely fantastic!
Lighting is always the most difficult to get right... this could be "the easy way out" for simple folk like me
