  I have been getting great results with an early version using Eevee and fast renders. The cycles are much slower and less realistic, at least to me. Just downloaded version 6, will try it next

  Very nice product, but somehow unfinished. Yet you can of course be happy with whats inside. I'm mostly off, not seeing a big issue in learning it however things could be bit better.
  - It really needs a documentation, even short.
  - It should have sample scenes to quickly start. I recommend the preset scene or the animated Skys. Why not simple incl. them?
  - I miss a base altitude. Anyone into aviation do not really want to bring everything high up. So maybe an offset would be cool. Also if you do a space station, you do not want to model it 8 km above ground.
  - Some presets are missing, like a ground. Even if you just simple it helps getting a feeling. Also a mountain wouldn't be difficult. Maybe a start file (sample) could help.
  Else, the tool has a lot to offer and it can surely be extended.
  For example, there are many VDB clouds free to download, or you can even generated them quickly in Embergen. So why not have a view clouds quickly added for static pictures clouds? (at least thats what I do)

  Hello, Thanks for your ideas, don't hesitate to join the Discord to exchange with the community and share your tips. For the documentation it has been updated. We will examine the possibilities to include VDB clouds.

  Really like the product but really need some more details on how to slow down the sky moving seems to fast in my renders. Was hoping for some additional details on how to manipulate the settings for more fine tuning.

  Hello,
  For the upcoming version 5.0 (EEVEE), we have removed the synchronization of clouds with the sun animation, you will be able to animate manually the wind force. Feel free to join the Discord server.

  Very powerful tool, guys, I love this product! I'm just wondering if it's possible to only render clouds animation on transparent with alpha channel in order to manage them during compositing...is it possible? Thank you very much!

  I knew about the technical restrictions and still bought it, although I mainly work with Cycles. It has to be said, that the Sky and Clouds look awesome in Eevee. Please note that this isn´t so much an add-on, but a shader collection which you have to append and you need to make a lot of changes in your Eevee render settings (there is a video available for that) to make it look like in the advertisement. For approx 70 Eur I would have expected a proper GUI, which does this for me.

  Hello,
  Thank you for your opinion.
  This was true until a few weeks ago, but since 08/30/21 an installable version is now available, and a nicer control interface and additional features have been added.

  I really like this add-on with one exception, the lack of documentation. It would be nice to have a document or a non-musical video with someone teaching installation and first use. The YouTube videos are really spectacular to look at but I find it difficult to follow the various mouse movements that adjust the settings.

  With the 4.2 update I have produced six new tutorial videos that include written comments. I am also preparing a text documentation that will be available soon.

  I've thoroughly tested Pure Sky, on Eevee renderer.
  It works exactly as described and what you see on the videos is what you get.

  In terms of options it has all that one can expect for, everything is adjustable and the possible sky combinations show to have no limit.
  The Cartoon sky and clouds (configurable separately and mixable with real sky) are a great feature! Rainbows look perfect!
  Memory consumption is minimum and no polygons are added to the scene.

  The only 2 reasons I don't give it 5 stars is that it's a bit heavy on the GPU, pushing it to run at 100% frequently (can become a problem if to be used in an already heavy scene) and that the so many options it has also can became a bit difficult to revert without having to start it all over. Some default presets would help on this. I also need to mention that I've been testing it from several versions and it has improved the speed at each release.

  Overhaul is a great sky system! Great Job! :)

  Thank you very much for your opinion, as you said, the optimization version requires high PC performance, that's why I plan to add a much simpler lite version than version 1.0, this will improve speed for projects with already very busy scenes.

  Would be great to have an EEVEE update for Blender 4.2 LTS. The environment goes to black so it's not really worth it to use the addon for now. It's otherwise great with nice UI and options and I'll happily update my rating if the addon improves.
