    Still a lot of glitches, on Eevee, after some adjustment or switching this Cycles the sky render quality doesn't update, after a moment sun is blinking (depending on the hour), rendering quality seems to be random and often low, and the sky update can be very slow, apart that great potential for this add on (three stars for the moment, I hope to be able to give five in some weeks).

      Hey Pascal,
      In the last updates, we fixed a lot of bugs. It may be that some or all of these issues could be addressed by updating the addon. If you still see any bugs in the new versions, it would be super helpful if you could send us a short video or a screenshot showing the issue.

    Sorry man, your work is amazing and the time you put into these plugins are undeniable, but this plugin, as it is packaged, I would not consider this as a beta yet. I have all of your plugins, and they've always been for people that want to tinker and dive into the settings more. but this one just doesn't work for me on a high end PC. its constantly updating the viewport and won't make it past a few samples before trying to update. it won't bake unless I hit undo. so many issues and I just don't want to be in a discord server trying to figure out so many issues that keep me from doing a simple render.

    I want this to work well, and I hope it will at some point. For now ever time I try to render on my 3060 it takes like 1 minute before it starts rendering. Not really usable for animations at least.

      Hi Johannes,
      It definitely will work better when we’re out of Beta. This is our current focus to smooth out all performance issues. We have already made great progress since the PA² launch in the last few updates, but we are not stopping there.

      Thank you for believing in us.

    This is extremely buggy and slow. Will probably be good when they finish developing it but this is not a polished release version.

      Hi Jack,

      I totally understand you. We had some performance issues, and yesterday we launched v2.6.0, in which we drastically improved cloud performance by rendering only what the camera/viewport sees. We are currently working on the next version to further improve performance. We feel that the progress is significant, and we hope that you will feel it too.

      We made a mistake by not putting the BETA tag up there. We have done it now. We will also publish all our incremental updates publicly so they are easy to follow. We are working hard so you can use it in production ASAP. :)

    I was a huge fan of PSA. But this addon is extremely buggy. I'm on an M3 Macbook Pro Max. Not saying that it's the fastest but can usually handle most things I throw at it. This addon is just unusable for me. Hopefully some updates can fix this because it does seem like a huge step up from PSA. Either way, keep up the great work!

      Hi Maurice,
      Ahhh... the clouds we published on Friday were unusable - so I totally understand your frustration. Yesterday we addressed this cloud performance issue (v 2.6.0) by rendering only what you see in the viewport. This is MAJOR improvement for clouds. Even my Macbook Air M1 started responding to clouds :D.

      Today we'll launch another version that will address some crashing issues on MacOS.
      If you were fan of PSA, we will get you to love PA^2... when we get out of Beta. :D

      Thank you for your love.
