This is a typical use case:
- Create the geometry for an outdoor scene.
- Add a Skylight to illuminate it.
One or more spotlights can also work well. If you use the physically based IES Sun or IES Sky lights, using an exposure control is essential.
- Choose Rendering
Advanced Lighting
Light Tracer.
This opens the Render Setup dialog to the Advanced Lighting panel and activates Light Tracer.
- Adjust the Light Tracer parameters, activate the viewport to render, and then activate the Common panel.
- Adjust your rendering settings, and then click the Render button at the bottom of the dialog.
The scene renders with soft-edged shadows and color bleeding.
