    Default Sun intesity, Ambient light settings...

    A simple question, do the sun intensity and ambient light settings and shadow settings for views have an effect on renderings? Coming from Scotland, sunlight is something we dont generally get directly as it is always filtered through a thick layer of clouds, so usually it is all ambient lighting here. I am finding that the rendering I am trying to work looks a little too sunny for Scotland.... Any suggestions or advice appreciated...

    No, those controls affect only shaded/realistic views. Use the "cloudiness" settings in the rendering dialog box to change the way sunlight lights a scene.

    A bit of experimenting and I see the cloudiness setting does make a bit difference... More of a "temperature" change than light intensity it looks like at first. May just try some artificial light to get the result I would like. Would be nice if the intensity ambient light etc etc affected renderings too. Thanks Scott. Add that one to the wishlist
