Would it be possible to add a sun and sky system in Karma XPU?

It is useful at times to make exterior renders

Next week.

I was busy making a scene for my next commercial training. And I halted the tutorials because 19.5 was about to be released.

How hard is it for you lazy peeps to drop an hdr in....

Does anyone actually light a proper scene with the physical setup? I mean, it's a bit of a throw
back to a very old/quick and dirty way of working.

Dropping in an HDR is the lazy thing to do

I personally don't have various HDR sequences of day-night cycle or cloud timelapses lying around
and also I'm jealous of how easy the Unreal kids have it these days with lighting environments

so for me lazy options please!

Clients do sometimes, plus the time of day to lighting direction can be useful if that's all the info you have.

+1, very useful for animation (when the model used is realistic enough).
