I am doing an exterior shot with physical sky and sun check, and I have couple of emmiters inside the building.

The thing is that when I render seems like the sun is completely gone, can't see any shadows, it just seems that physical sky is active but no sun.

but when I hide all the emitters the sun shows up..

the funny thing on the preview i can see the shadows but not in the final image...

thanks

Perhaps it takes a longer time for the image to reach a certain SL also with the emitters so it seems like there are no sun shadows.

i think you are right. i can see something now at higher sl..

I was just freaking out... the difference is big when emitters are on and not on.

cheers

I bet you are using glass with refraction for your windows which means that the sunlight coming in is all caustics. Try using AGS for your exterior windows.
