  I have been working with this product for a month. While the results can be stunning, it's quirky and can be unreliable. While there is an active GitHub conversation, I don't get the impression that the creators are on top of these issues, and if they are they're not doing a good job of communicating what's being done to help this product live up to its promise, especially given its relatively high price. At this point I consider my purchase an investment in better things to come.

  I'm running Blender 3.0 and ever since I install this, it crashes a lot, at first I was using the latest beta version, now I downloaded 1.3.2 and it still crashes, I'd implemented it on old scenes and swapped out the original hdri, and it crashes like every 3rd render, I run a Asus G14 with a GTX2080, I like to not refund this. cause when it is good, it's beautiful.

  Hi Victor,
  Thank you for your feedback! With the stable version (1.3.x), a crash shouldn't occur. Could you please provide more details in our Discord #help chat (https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr), and we'll try to help you out with this? Regarding the 1.4.x-beta version crash, we're working hard to fix this ASAP. Currently, the addon is being modified in a way that should make it more robust, allow better management of worlds and make it more stable.

  You forgot the moon.

  Daniel,
  Thanks for bringing it up. The moon isn’t missing; it’s simply part of our Physical Celestial Objects addon (https://superhivemarket.com/products/physical-celestial-objects), where we handle planets and other bodies without bloating this system. If you want to discuss the idea further, you can share it in Discord’s #suggestions channel: https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr

  This potentially has lot's of promise, but is completely unstable and unreliable in any sort of production setting because of the amount of bugs it has. Just simply turning off PSA and then turning it on again results in not being able to adjust any settings, and essentially destroys all your shaders in almost every material you have. It adds additional nodes to a lot of materials you have (not even in the world nodes).

  Good to maybe experiment with small projects but I would not use in any real projects where you have deliverables until these bugs are gone. When you're paying a relatively high price for something like this, you'd think that it would be more stable. I have version 1.5.2 btw.

  Hey Nathaniel,
  Thank you for the feedback! Regarding stability, we **highly suggest** updating to the latest PSA version v1.6.1 (release notes here: [https://www.physicaladdons.com/psa/release-notes/](https://www.physicaladdons.com/psa/release-notes/)) as it should tackle all issues you are facing now (issues with missing data-block nodes that were caused when disabling addon, sun position animation stutters, issues when trying to animate some of the properties and more). Also, you will gain a lot of new features that are not present in v1.5.1 (more controls over stars and clouds). Sorry for any inconvenience caused by these issues and we hope that you will enjoy the new features and a more stable addon.

  To follow the latest PSA updates follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/PhysicalAddons) or join our community Discord channel (https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr).

  I had rough times with this add, I see the potential, but I find it quite hard to to play with it, maybe I need more time.
  Overall it wont match the quality of a real hdri, the clouds are very poor even though it s cool to have them, they dont look real at all.
  I also find the presets very poor, and not very helpful.
  I also had trouble when I was switching to hdri, psa leaves things even tho you erase it.
  I will it more time and chance, and update my comment, but for now i am disappointed.

  Great potential however after I closed blender and reopened it (didn't make any changes) I can no longer render. It crashes. I am on blender 3.1.2 and addon version 1.5.1, also tried 1.3.X

  Super buggy, kind of works in setting up a scene, then sun controls stop affecting for no apparent reason. Clearing rebuilding doesn't fix it, adds tons of overhead and honestly there really isn't much in the way of options to dial in atmosphere or presence, extremely limited cloud functions. For my usage, offers less than a good HDRI.

  Whole project keeps crashing after you changed Blender version while using this product and render quality drop to Eevee even, I am using Cycles. Not recommended. Please fixed your product and I will give back 5 stars.

  Hey,
  Thank you for the feedback, and sorry you ran into this.
  We've just tested Physical Atmosphere on Blender 5.1 and 5.2 alpha in both Cycles and Eevee, and so far haven't been able to reproduce either the crash or the render quality issue on our end. We'd love to properly address it.

  Could you send us an email to [email protected] or write a message in our Discord (https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr) #help-chat with:
  - Your Blender version
  - Your Physical Starlight and Atmosphere version
  - List of other addons enabled
  - (if possible) a .blend file, or exact steps that trigger the crash
  - (if possible) are there any errors in your console

  I have an issue with the addon and I am yet to receive assistance from the developers after 5 days with a ticket opened. Guess they will be answering this review before they even assist me with my issues.

  I really want to give 5 stars, but considering the PSA light value changes when I reopen my Blender file, I will give it 1 star because it caused my client to cancel the order due to the drastic difference in lighting.
