Hi there,
im very new to Corona and im wondering how to set up an exterior scene right.
If i just take the sky, sun, and a cam with default settings the result is muuuch to bright.

i reduce sky intensity to 0.1 (!) and deactivate sun. This seems to work. (pic 01)
Than, adding sun with an reduced intensity of 0.1 too! The result is again muuuch to bright. (pic2)
Cam settings are nearly default, i just reduced ISO to 100.
 I think,  im doing something wrong, i cant imagen, that the default settings are so wrong.

Im using the Version: B1 daily Oct 25 2017 (core 1.7 RC10)

Hope, somebody can show me the way! :-)
Cheers

Hi. Not a C4D user, but I think this is the same as Max.

Set both sky and sun to 1 - this will give you a physical correct light. Then turn down "Exposure" to something around -4,2 (yours is set to 0).

Hope it helps

Have you tried going lower than 0.1? ie: 0.05 etc??

Yep, I was about to write the same. As of now, there's no autoexposure in the camera, so you have to manually tweak it to whatever value suits your scene.

For me, Exposure -4.5 is a good value.
