hello shockgiga

just make a ground plane and turn on GI that is all....in vray
or with scanline create skylight and turn on light tracer
use a tannish color mat and not the gray...

oh its you again mr. maggi :) LOL you always rescue me from disstress :) thank you so much.

how do i use the skylight properly? when i use it, the image isa so bright that i cant see anything anymore.

do you have recommended fixed values for skylight properties?

i overwrited the file and it already shows the newly rendered official clay. :)
