  Good idea but it is extremely buggy and slow. I work with Ryzen 5950x + RTX 3080ti +64GB Ram and still having issues using the addon. Would appreciate a refund. Thank you

  I would first like to say thank you to the developer(s) of this addon - Not trying to bash the addon, just sharing some experiences for other users.

  Unfortunately this is nearly unusable for anything other than what the advertisement presets show you. I'm hoping that after a few updates it could be great, but for right now (5.1.15) it is slow, clunky, and full of bugs. I'm on a threadripper and 3090 + 3080 and it's painfully slow. I will say the presets are fairly impressive, but customizing your own looks starts to expose the bugs. There is no way to move the clouds on xyz. The intensity or brightness of the sky cannot be changed without lowering the position of the sun. Even after adding fog, there is no way to alter the interaction of the light with the atmosphere and volumetrics. Some of the presets simply don't work and there is really no way to change the cloud properties without using a preset. It would be great to see more customization options in the future for the sky/atmosphere/clouds separately.

  This add-on creates some beautiful results – when it is working.
  I've set up a nice animation. Then I started getting some strange lines in the Eevee Renders. When I tweaked some settings, suddenly the keyframed animation wouldn't animate anymore. I reset the keyframes, restored to an older version of the file (which had worked before), restarted Blender, reset the whole scene in the app window, restarted the PC – nothing worked, I cannot get any keyframe animation of my (client-)work in that scene anymore.
  Oh yeah, and there is no way to influence the speed of cloud movement in animations.

  I need something dependable, so I will look for another solution, because this is either not stable enough or too fragile for professional work.

  Hello,
  We are sorry if you had any problem with this product. For the upcoming version 5.0 (EEVEE), we have removed the synchronization of clouds with sun animation, you will be able to use animation keys directly in the cloud node "Wind" to make the wind blow. Don't hesitate to join the Discord server.

  i dont know, if u want to some sky on your scene, i rather to suggest u using the sky system from Unreal Engine (and u could buy a better looks+performance sky addon too from the marketplace UE for the cheaper price)

  if u really need a sky on your blender scene, just buy an addon called "ultimate sky" or any-others sky addon for cheaper price (and better performance) in Blender Market.

  otherwise, i just suggest u to using the HDRI sky. most fastest performance.

  I bought this addon cause i just got hyped, but then, i never use this addon because it got bad-optimized (atleast for my low rig gtx 1060)

  if u really want to buy this addon, just wait for sale, and go for lite / simplified / archviz version (on my opinion u better buy a separated addon if u really need some terrain or world extensions)

  and hey, i will say it again, it sucks (for now) on cycles performance too., just really-really looking forward for the updates.

  2 stars just for eevee looks.

  Comparing a volumetric sky to an HDRI card and "Blender" to "Unreal Engine" is not very reasonable. Your configuration is not adapted to use this product. Increase your performance and you will get better results like 90% of the users.

  I bought this for my cycle workflow since it tell that is cycle compatible, and really works with cycle if you have time to wait like 10 minuts only to see your viewport , and its almost 10 min everytime u set something or move camera or do anything, and this with 10 render sample..sorry this is not for cycle actually , if you use evee its nice even if it need some better instructions , using my RTX A4000 thats not a bad Grafic card but in cycle it cant handle - disclaimer: i used it only for half our yet and followed last video on french language to setting for cycle , maybe im missing something but really this is not viable for cycle at the moment

  Thank you for your opinion, your configuration allows largely to obtain better results since it is superior to what I used to make my demonstrations, I think that you forgot to reduce the parameter of volumes for cycles "Max Steps" which by default is with "1024" it is necessary to go down to "50" if not indeed that is unusable. do not forget also that to generate volumes in a distance of more than 200 KM with Cycles will consume much performances no matter your configuration. And there is a tutorial in English on the page.

  - Beautiful but desperately needs solid documentation -

  This addon creates some really beautiful results and I am greatly looking forward to being able to use it someday, however I've found it extremely hard to use in any practical way due to there being incomplete documentation.

  The addon is so deep with so many inputs and options that it becomes very easy to accidentally ruin your blender scene with seemingly no way to reset all of the settings. I have also tried to follow some of the youtube guides, but it seems that some of those have become obsolete with the newer updates, meaning I can no longer follow along step by step and I have no clue how to properly use some of the features of the addon. In a work setting, I can't afford to spend an hour or two tinkering with settings I have no clue about, just trying to achieve a desirable effect, or just to try and fix my lighting after changing something.

  I think almost all of my complaints would be addressed with the addition of maybe a couple of preset options included in the N panel, along with a button to fully reset all of the settings as well as a button to completely deactivate the addon and restore all of the default blender world settings. At least that way I might not be scared to use this addon in my projects. Most importantly though, it REALLY needs 100% complete documentation on how to use it and all of the settings before any new updates or features are added.

  It definitely seems like a lot of thought has been put into this addon, and it could DEFINITELY be a 5/5 once full documentation is complete along with a way to revert all settings. I am looking forward to the future of this addon!

  Thank you for your opinion, indeed the documentation is not up to date because we wanted to give priority to solve the compatibility problems with Cycles. For the next updates it will take more time but we will do things in order, it will avoid to generate frustration. And we will see to add a button to restore the default values.

  i really wanted to like this product and though it would save me time when i needed a quick sky for a scene. So far i have found it impossible to integrate into any scenes i'm working on. it creates a great looking sky but the clipping issue with the cameras really is a problem and makes it so difficult with an animated scene. I've spend a long time playing around with it and in the end found my self coming back to just making some clouds myself and using the built in dynamic sky addon. Hopefully the clipping issue will be resolved when 3.0 officially comes out.

  Hello, thank you for your opinion, you can use the Cycle rendering with the 4.5 update, this problem concerns only EEVEE.

  Hello,
  I understand the complexity of the development of this Addon and it is really good if it worked fine, this is not a modified product and has many problems with the camera, it works only with a certain camera, but what if you need to render from a different angle? There is no manual. The main problem is not working with Cycles render, but written (Eevee & Cycle). You write what can be done differently, etc. and that it was necessary to read the fine print. It is not cheap for me, for this money I would buy another Addon. She also has problems in the Eevee render. I'm sorry, but this has become a useless purchase. Unfortunately I am very disappointed.

  I'm also disappointed that I took the time to write a datasheet for this product, but that some people voluntarily choose not to consult its content, and then complain unfairly. This product can't solve volume limitations with eevee since it depends on the Blender foundation. The compatibility of volumes with Cycle has been solved, but before that everything was mentioned on the product sheet, but you should take the trouble to read the information provided.

  I really wanted to like this addon but as it's progressed more and more features have been removed. The description now lies, claiming there's more presets than there actually are, there's no aurora support anymore, and the menu is a mess to navigate through.
