  Product DOES have a lot of bugs, usually with a new version of blender, but what you get carried immense value. You're virtually crafting your own hdri, and now the clouds feature works well with 3.1 (maybe even 3.2). My current gripe is the loss of all preset options. They simply vanished. Is thisa known bug? Is there a fix on our end that can solve?

  Hi, thank you for your feedback!
  Regarding presets, since PSA addon version v1.5 we have moved from our custom preset solution to Asset Browser. About how to import assets and use them read more on our documentation page here: https://www.physicaladdons.com/psa/presets/. We are currently working to make using presets more user-friendly.

  Do you know that feeling that you get when you're walking outside in your hometown and the sky looks particularly breathtaking? The Sun is going down and you feel relaxed and exhilarated at the same time. You think to yourself: "I wish I could recreate what this incredible sky is making me feel right now." It's almost like that. Not quite, but almost.

  It's a lot of fun to play with, and I know that it's expensive, but it is definitely better than... well it's better than a lot of things that I have spent money on.

  Super buggy, kind of works in setting up a scene, then sun controls stop affecting for no apparent reason. Clearing rebuilding doesn't fix it, adds tons of overhead and honestly there really isn't much in the way of options to dial in atmosphere or presence, extremely limited cloud functions. For my usage, offers less than a good HDRI.

  With just the ligting results and disregarding the awesome atmospheric effects this purchase is worth it. I had a really good render using an HDRI image which I was quite happy with and then I tried this....

  I am truly amazed. The dynamic range is incredible.

  At first I struggled but reading the documentation and experimenting a bit, I ended up with even better results than I had imagined.

  Just a heads up to new users on a few points:

  1) Using render preview in Cycles you must switch back to any of the other view port shading options and not just pause rendered view. If you dont, you may run into GPU Vram issues.
  2) If you want to render with HDRI background in cycles you have to turn off the sun lamp and leave on the sun disc.
  3) Following on point 2, if you adjust the elevation or azimuth of the sun whilst previewing live through rendered view and your sun lamp is off, you wont see any changes. You have to turn sun lamp on to get visual feedback of your sun position then turn it off again to update in HDRI mode.

  I'd like to see more types of clouds, but I think that could ruin the speed of this add-on since it would likely need volumetrics to work well.

  Great addon, but after updating from last beta I have lost my only preset and a scene full atmosphere :(

  My tip thought would be to build the scene first and activate the plugin as the last element. Sometimes, when reloading files(allthough it is rare) there are glitches. But the plugin is amazing, honestly. The amount of life that it adds and inspiration that it gives, immediatly, is well worth the money.

  A must-have, for sure. One of the essential Blender addons. Takes some time to understand all the combinations but that's because it's finely designed. Epic.

  I have been working with this product for a month. While the results can be stunning, it's quirky and can be unreliable. While there is an active GitHub conversation, I don't get the impression that the creators are on top of these issues, and if they are they're not doing a good job of communicating what's being done to help this product live up to its promise, especially given its relatively high price. At this point I consider my purchase an investment in better things to come.
