Title: Sun and Sky Issue
Post by: dj_buckley on 2024-08-26, 00:07:30
This might be the way it's supposed to work, but ... if I have a Corona Sun in a daylight system with a Corona Sky in the Environment.  Everything works as expected.  If I take the time to say 9pm at night, you get the nice dusk sky BUT, if I turn the sun off at this point, the sky goes super bright?  Why is that?

Just to add, this also happens at any time of day?

A more correct way to remove sunlight would be to set sun intensity to 0 instead of turning it off. That way sky should work more closely to what you're expecting.

When you turn off the sun, you basically untie it from Sky - sky becomes independent from Sun (and so it becomes constant, not necessarily bright, it can become dimmer too).

So, if you want to have them connected, keep the sun on/enabled, so the sky changes based on the sun position, and change the sun's intensity, as Romullus mentioned.
