Upcoming projects (dynamic physically rendered 3D sky)

The scene is not lit by using an HDRI but by using a experimental physically rendered volumetric 3D sky.
The whole scene is lit by just one big ''sun object'' by emitting a bright white light. The volumetric sky then scatters it into yellow light.
At longer distances, the atmosphere gets a red glow, this simulates sunsets.
The sun and moon can be placed anywere to achieve a nice sky above the scene.
Stars are also emitting objects that will be visible after sunset.

(no addons are used, this is all standard Blender Cycles 2.79)

The Island, building and car are all upcoming releases that will be finished this year.
