Advanced Lighting

All lighting options are here, such as physical sun-sky, image-based lighting, area and point lights along with IES support. The physical sky settings contain all the physically-based parameters to adjust the sun and sky. Image-based lighting is a convenient way to add illumination to the scene, coming from captured photos of the surrounding environment. Since a photo of a real scene can be used, the lighting is highly convincing and enhances the realism of your renders.
