            That is convincing. Is the sky a Maxwell sky or HDRI?

                I wish Thea had a better sky display like Maxwell. While it is very accurate physically the visual is not great.

                  Do you get sky parameters in Thea ? I can tweak and save skies, adjust stuff like ozone, humidity; planetary reflection etc.

                    You can tweak it to the nth degree. It's just the the physical sun in Thea doesn't have the same glare effect Maxwell has.

                    The sky itself is pretty accurate but I could never get it glare when it is pointed towards the camera. Maybe it's me though 😞

                      Can you adjust the suns intensity independently from the sky ? I've never used Thea but i know some experts exist here on the forum perhaps they can chip in.

                        Yes, you can increase power, color etc...

                        Then in Thea Darkroom you can process the render further with vignetting, glare etc...

                        But never to the same effect you see in Maxwell. Which is why I asked was your sky a Maxwell sky. They are always so nice.

                        Anyway, thread hijack over.... πŸ˜•

                              The aircraft and hangars are from the warehouse:

                              3D Warehouse

                              3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

                              (3dwarehouse.sketchup.com)

                              I modelled the flood lights and fence. I used skatter for the grass was a huge area and took 18 mins to export !
