Given i had some free time i worked a bit on this one...just a bit of photoshop (sorry for the noise, i had to stop the rendering)

rendertime about 12hrs on aa 2.3 Ghz machine[/url]

much better than last one.
also the ground texture is great this time.
and the sky really rocks

imo it would be even better if the camera would show more sky and less ground.
whats you sky settings if you don't mind?

Well, i just put the sun low on the horizon and set the turbidity at around 3.5, then imported the tonemmapped in PS and i adjusted exposure and gamma, then just a bit of flare and contrast adjustments arund the sun (i had a small bright spot while now i get that large bright area). Simple as that

Did you photoshop the sky or do a skymap? That sky is very nice. Cant wait to see what you end up doing to it. I agree with Manitwo about less ground and more sky. Unless you add more to the lower section of the render.

Just the output from indigo's sky: the sun in that position gives that effect thanks to the exr format: tuning the gamma and the...mmm...the other parameter, i'm quite stoned atm sorry, i was close to what you see. I simply tuned a bit more in photoshop by layering 2 different images (different brightness /contrast basically) and played with different layer types. Then i added a lens flair (with a very low setting otherwise you get all those streaks whcih i don't care about). So i guess it's 70% indigo, 15% OpenEXR format, 15% photoshop...or something like that. Uh, one more thing: i switched from D75 to E as suggested somewhere, but on this outside scene i didn't see a great difference (should make further tests though).
More renders in the days to come, when i got some more free time to play with indigo (which is becoming my favourite render mainly because..it's so easy getting nice stuff

, soon it will get in my daily workflow hopefully).
