Controlling shadows in hdri dome light
-
How can I control the sharpness of shadows if I'm using a dome light with an HDRI map? I'm using Vray 3.4 on sketchup 2017

It replicates the environment that has been created from . So no way to change the shadow sharpness. Just change the HDRI image with a sharp sun one.

Easily. Take a round brush and put 15-stop
circle in PS -
I have also seen posts where artists have worked with the gamma. Not sure if this is still relevant in 3.6

It kills details in sky's lights/shadows
Though the best way is to bind vray sun to dome light (in Max)
