Environment & Lights

I’d love to request a feature that would make a huge difference for those of us working with stage, concert, and event visualizations inside Vantage — the ability to render visible light beams (like those from moving heads, spotlights, or stage li...

Basic Weather /Season Cycles to help compete with other Real-Time Renders such as D5, Twin Motion and Lumion. Ability to select the following: RAINY/WET SNOW SUMMER, SPRING etc

Currently, every light in the scene impacts the fog. Please provide an option for selecting which lights can and cannot affect the fog.

Using the finite dome light lets you "project" parts of the 360 image to an imaginary deformed sphere, which in turn lets you change the height of the horizon of the HDRI. Sometimes when shooting a 360 HDRI image and want use the sky parts only, b...

Very useful and commonly used. For example, I want the glass of the building to reflect a lot of trees, but the background is blue sky and white clouds. I can easily achieve this in VRay with 2 HDRIs. But in Vantage, I have to plant trees behind t...

Working with events and exhibitions, we need to show volume light effect for the ceiling lights but not have the effect interfere with the scene clarity down below. Having a fog start height can make this doable.

Helpful to achieve certain looks. Nice to have an additional "Fill" dome light in addition to using an HDRI.

For Sci-fi stuff (fast background without overhead within the scene itself) a Stars Only option, without any atmosphere/horizon would be nice. Maybe a checkbox for "no atmosphere" or something? :)

Better control of environmental fog range, creating more creative lighting scenes

For exterior flight scenes, it would be great to have a realistic cloudscape rendered, seen from above. This is probably very complex, since there are many applications that treat this, with a lot of manual effort involved.
