does anyone have some exterior daylight shot sample using physical sky or even hdr? all the images im seeing here are a bit dark to my liking, they are all great but just dark to my eye. thanks, i need to be convinced more.

Why don't you download the demo and experiment yourself? That is what it is there for.

i have downloaded the demo and my current system is not really working with it. so before i upgrade my system, i just need to see some finished architectural exterior shot same quality as maxwell or fry to compare since they are unbiased rendering program. as i said the images produce with octane are great and the speed is unbelievable but most of them are a little dark to my eye. thanks, please

Currently there no physical sky implemented yet, only hdr based rendering.
But if you find the images too dark, you will like octane since it provides realtime control about the rendering image on physical level (Gamma,exposure, iso,fstop)

That's because the UI is dark and a lot of people under-expose the renders they make
Load the demo and check the camera exposure, iso, gamma settings

Hi,

Sunsky is going to be available in beta2, which will be released soon.

Radiance

ok my apology for not knowing that sunsky has not implemented yet. but still, there are a lot of day scene in hdr format that can be use to lit up octane scene and most images shown here are for product and less arch viz. im beginning to be a pain in the *** now, sorry about that. more power to octane

I am waiting for sunsky implementation as well.
