Question about HDR Sky

hostilis · May 2012

I got a small problem about the HDR sky in the editor. I can't figure out why the sky turns almost white when looking in front but when I look up the the pale blue colors returns.

I think its from the TOD but I tried tweaking it still the same.

Thanks for the help.

what do you mean? are you trying to use a HDR map for the sky or what?

I'm not using any skybox yet, I'm using the default sky mat provided in the sdk.

might be something to do with the scattering settings? or the colour of the distant fog? check out the info here http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC2/Setting+Up+Time+Of+Day

yeah if the sky changes color depending where you look its most likely due to the sun scattering settings.

Also, if your TOD worked before the dx11 patch, its possible that the new HDR settings are the root of the problem.. this is because new HDR settings were added in the update, so old maps' tod's need tweaking before they work properly.

Thanks guys, I finally solve it. It was the Film curve whitepoint parameter in the TOD that makes the sky white and also tweaking the r_eyeadaptationbase to lessen the value of eye adaption in light areas.
