Hi,
as subject, it would be very useful to have two independent sliders.
I jumped to Maxwell after some years of Fry; beside the fact i like Maxwell more under most aspects, this is something i miss.
Having the possibility to fade between a sunlight situation to an overcast one is priceless.

thanks,
Paolo

I would love this as well. I would imagine this would also allow you to change the color of the sun and sky as well. Now that would be very powerful.

color of sun and sky are physically-based so i'm not keen to change them. Anyway, changing sun's intensity is really a must.

thanks,

Something I've seen people use is to use a large disc several km away from your scene, angled right and with a huge intensity emitter it can imitate the sun.

hi,
yes i saw this too, but it's a workaround and you must do it from the beginning - and in my tests it seems slower.
If you already found a good physical sun's position, you have to re-find it from scratch in case you want to fade sun with mixer.
