    Bought it Day One. There aren't any cons fo rme, since I only use the default sky and tweak the way I want. For some scenes I'll stick with my HDRi but I'm surprised that in 90% of the time, I switch to True Sky. It's indeed better and in my opinion I, in no way, feel scammed. Concerning render time, I don't really see a difference between TS and the 16 to 19K HDRi I normally use so it's not a problem for me.

    My only question is : how do you make the sky invisible? Since I make a lot of product design rendering these days, I need a good realistic lighting but a transparent background. I tried a lot of things and can't find a way to just get the light out of the add on but not the background. If that's not possible, well, that would be a great con.

      Hi Eric,

      You can make the background (Sky only not clouds) invisible in renders by heading to the 'FILM' tab in the properties panel, and enabling the 'Transparent' checkbox. If you wish to make also the clouds invisible, then you need to turn these into Shadow Catchers.

      Glad to hear you're liking the tool so far, if you have any feedback please join our discord and use our feedback form there.

      Kind regards,

    Hands down the best lighting plug-in for Blender, also the devs are quick to respond and very helpful. Cycles only, with128 samples for photo real results. Buy this one!

    I bought all the addons of "True Terrain", True Assets", "True VDB", and since its release "True Sky".
    For "True Sky" in fact it is greedy in computing resources, like everything that is volumetric! But you have to know how to adjust it and know how to adjust the rendering parameters of Cycles. A few clicks are enough.
    Once done, everything works fine. "True Sky" allows to make sky, clouds and fog. These three criteria gathered in the same addons is very practical and provide many parameters.
    The developers are very responsive! Do not hesitate to go to their discord where they provide many examples to have really more efficient rendering!
    I highly recommend this addons!

    This addon is mindblowing. I already use True VFX's other products so this was a no-brainer - it isn't just fully automated and customisable volumetric skies (which if you think about it is mind-blowing in itself), but haze, fog, rolling fog, surface fog, all backed up by the most active Discord community I have met makes this a game changer

    Picked this up on launch day and couldn't be happier with it. Easy to use and customer support through discord is fast and always helpful. They also have a ton of tutorials for their add-ons which helps lessen the learning curve. I've been running this on a legion 5 laptop and it does slow down render times but over all its well worth it to have beautiful skies that you can make your own.

    Love this product! I've been looking for something to create great skies for my scenes that wouldn't break the bank. True-Sky is great and affordable. Also if you don't already own some True VFX plug ins, you're missing out.

    I've got already Physical Starlight and Atmosphere and Pro-lighthing. I like them both.
    Nevertheless, as I usually love TrueVFX products, I didn't have to think a lot before bying this one.
    And I am not desapointed.
    I don't really agree with some comments left on this page. From my experience, render time is not an issue, as far as you don't crank up the max samples. I work in post process with the desoise filter wich is very powerful so I keep my mas samples low. In my opinion, the render time is quite ok for such a product, regarding the very flexible and powerful tool this add-on provides.
    As far the render is concerned, I am AMAZED by the quality of light.
    So far, the best add-on for skies, in my opinion.
    I really hope this product will be improved in the future for fancy features (like northern lights, please please please !)

    I have a W6800X Duo in my Mac Pro, so don’t have any issues with render times. So far I’m impressed and looking forward to future updates. It’ll be a five-star product before long, I’m sure.
