sunlights

so i started working on some lighting for the scene of the second clip and mentioned to deon about HDRI lighting where i would use a HD image that would be a sphere around the scene and would automatically create lights for it based on the colours in the picture , he thought this was a good idea and told me to try and find a desert sky picture to match the way we wanted the second clip to look cos the enviiroment would be very desolate and a hot wasteland so i got a picture and this was it.



so with that picture i then went into mental ray settings and created the image based lighting and got this as the result



so showing it to deon we realised it needed to be alot more brighter and alot more oranger perhaps lol...so off i go
