New HDRI too bright and double shadows

Hi there,

Thanks once again for this great software and all the efforts!

Using the new HDRI’s (on exterior scene) seems to result to a much brighter lighting compared to previous or custom HDRI’s used in versions prior 1.7.1. Tweaking this with exposure but generally this causes less saturated colors. The other problem is that the final render image produces two shadows - one from sun and the other from HDRI. It’s practically impossible to match them together.

I’ll post some images as soon as I’ll get to my D5 PC.

Hi there,

Thank you for the support and feedback.
Please try to turn down the exposure and use Skylight intensity parameter.

The other problem is that the final render image produces two shadows - one from sun and the other from HDRI. ————Please try to use only one sun between these two, and we’ll release a new feature in 1.8 which allows the two suns to follow each other
