! NOTICES

************************

! PC performance required

This tool was created to obtain renderings with a lot of details. While it has been mentioned above that this tool has been optimized to save your PC's resources, it requires a certain capacity to operate properly. Thus its use and the resulting rendering process require a certain amount of PC power. The tool was created with a medium power PC core i7 3770, an AMD Rx480 graphics card, Ram 16gigas. It is therefore recommended for the user to have a machine with equivalent or more powerful performance. 


!SLOW VIEWPORT

Any project involving volumetric objects with Blender will be always slow no matter what the add-on is. Natural sky has been optimized for better performance but slow volume rendering remains a general Blender limitation. Set render and viewport samples to less than 10 during scene creation, you can set the samples higher during rendering. Using denoiser is recommended also. Also when volumetric is involved CPU is faster for viewport rendering and GPU is faster for final rendering.


! EEVEE is not supported

A photorealistic sky system for Blender 2.8 and 2.9

The majority of successful 3d renderings started with good lighting from the sky. Once this one is well in place the artist only has to place his 3d objects in the scene and the rendering will always be beautiful. Blender 3D lacks a serious sky lighting system. There are tools by default but not very elaborate. There are also some add-ons that are already on the market but generally they lack more or less realism. This is how we created Natural Sky. A simple sky system, easy to use, light in performance but providing photorealistic results to boost your renderings.

Natural Sky Features for Blender 3D 2.8 and 2.9

- Simple but powerful

- Photorealistic lighting

- Customizable time

- Animatable full 24 hours cycle

- Customizable sun an moon position

- Customizable different kind of volumetric clouds

- Cloud movements

- Customizable stars

- Customizable fog

- Optimized for performance

- No script but shader based system

- Created for Cycles render engine to obtain high quality rendering ( no Eevee support )

 
Highly customizable and easy to use

The goal of this tool is to increase the user's productivity by giving them access to a realistic sky as fast as possible. There is no script but a shader based system. The workflow is very simple. You can use with 3 different ways:

- just import your 3d models into the Natural Sky .blend file

- or append the Natural Sky collection from the .blend file into your project. In this case do not forget to set your scene scale factor to 1 and optimize your project render setting. Please see the FAQ here https://blendermarket.com/products/natural-sky/faq

- or save Natural Sky .blend as start-up file so you will be able to use the photorealistic sky immediately with all your new projects.

Sun and moon Horizontal Position allows you to adjust the horizontal position of the sun and moon.


Sun and moon size allows you to adjust the size of the sun and the moon.


Animatable full 24 hours cycle
You can use keying to animate the time progression via the "time" parameter.


 Designed to support large environments (64 km2) 


A versatile 3d sky system designed for exterior rendering, interior rendering and in-between.


Customizable 3d volumetric clouds generating soft lighting effect.


Sun light intensity allows to adjust the intensity of sunlight


Stars amount allows to adjust the density of the stars. It's a threshold parameter so more value means less stars.


Cinematic 3D ground fog with customizable height and intensity.


General exposure and gamma allow you to adjust the exposure and the gamma of the scene for more realism.
