    A time saving physics-based addon that lets you create realistic atmospheres and suns in the world shader with just a few clicks! highly recommending this for every artist but for future updates, I would really like a moon feature added as well. ofc you can use the PCO addon to do that, but a more realistic earth's moon would be a great addition to the addon.

    Always wanted a more controlled approach for my world than what HDRIs offer and this was the answer all along! I have used this for many projects and it has never let me down :>

    I have been working on a project for some time and from the very beginning I have had a problem with proper stage lighting and color reproduction. I bought a PSA in 3 minutes, ultimately just to test the possibilities, I set the sliders at my discretion and suddenly it turned out that I solved the problem in 150% because the final render looks much more realistic, which I did not expect. A simple thing, I recommend it very much, because it gives great results, does not burden so much, and the time saved is priceless.

    I had seen the previews, trailers and examples of how cool PSA was, so when I chose to purchase it I got very disappointed when PSA seemingly caused issues with Blender, didn´t preview in Cycles and had all sorts of issues.
    I was ready to leave a 1-star review and move on to a better solution, but decided to reach out to the PSA support on Discord. I honestly expected to wait a few days to get a response, but I must admit that all of my preconceived notions were brought to shame.
    Not only did they respond almost instantly, but I also found out that most of the issues stemmed from an unrelated, corrupt Blender file and some mysterious issues with the Blender prefs. Now, PSA works as I hoped and while I still have a lot of experimenting to do to get the results I am going for, there is no doubt that this addon is a game-changer in terms of ease-of-use, flexibility and options.

    Fantastic realism and speed of use. Great add-on!

    However I'm currently having an issue - I have animated the world azimuth and elevation from morning to night and the world lighting is not updating on render or timeline scrolling.

    I then tried animating the sun object to see if this would help but the problem persists.

    Add-on is amazing but any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Product DOES have a lot of bugs, usually with a new version of blender, but what you get carried immense value. You're virtually crafting your own hdri, and now the clouds feature works well with 3.1 (maybe even 3.2). My current gripe is the loss of all preset options. They simply vanished. Is thisa known bug? Is there a fix on our end that can solve?

      Hi, thank you for your feedback!
      Regarding presets, since PSA addon version v1.5 we have moved from our custom preset solution to Asset Browser. About how to import assets and use them read more on our documentation page here: https://www.physicaladdons.com/psa/presets/. We are currently working to make using presets more user-friendly.

    Do you know that feeling that you get when you're walking outside in your hometown and the sky looks particularly breathtaking? The Sun is going down and you feel relaxed and exhilarated at the same time. You think to yourself: "I wish I could recreate what this incredible sky is making me feel right now." It's almost like that. Not quite, but almost.

    It's a lot of fun to play with, and I know that it's expensive, but it is definitely better than... well it's better than a lot of things that I have spent money on.
