:lol: 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).

i need to make some tweaks to the code to repair it...

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
