I love your scene Enrico, you already know it. Thanks again
The physical sun works great so far, very easy to handle and setup
Clean after 5min (4 MS/s for the first one, 2.5 MS/s for the second one)
I let them render for 20min each (to clean the noise a little)
Render size is 1024 by 512 pixels, just added 15px black borders
Notice the subtle bokeh effect in the second one corner
Its because of the sun being really bright

very cool but maybe you can also show the others some images with sunsky using normal daylight settings, eg blue sky and bright white/yellowish noon-like sunlight ?

I disagree. Very nice shots and nice feeling of sunlight. To me it communicates a lot about how natural the light distribution feels (which looks good IMO).

Damn thats sweet, I'll be buying the next beta for sure !
That sunlight looks really nice.
But will it have a azimuth and zenith ? some manual control ?
Playing with time of day, latitude and longitude, GMT, etc to get the sun into the position I like is tiresome.
cheers
