V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max — Exterior lighting techniques to enhance your scene.

In this tutorial we show you how you can enhance your exterior scene with easy-to-follow lighting techniques.

You’ll learn how to efficiently use V-Ray Sun and Sky to create natural lighting. We’ll also explore how you can quickly create different lighting scenarios to improve your workflow. Then we’ll take a look at how we can further improve our lighting by mixing HDRIs with V-Ray Sun. Finally, we’ll switch to a night scene by adding some artificial lights and finish our render with the help of V-Ray Light Mix.

[AlexanderDomingo]

How did you do the stars??? Everyone wants to know.

[arqbolognesi]

will chaos scatter be available for 3dsmax in the future??

[Gasconauxolives]

Thank you for this overview tutorial.
Putting the HDRI in the Environment (at the usual place of the VRaySky) makes it act as "Global Illumination / indirect lighting" : is there a way to have the HDRI act as DIRECT lighting (not as GI / indirect light) in addition to the VRaySun?
Best regards.
