    Been using this add-on for about a year and it saved me a ton of time. It took some time to get fully used to it, especially with the clouds (sometimes doesn´t do the things I expect). But all in all it´s a great add-on with a lot of customizability :D

    Never got T-Sky to install properly and work on my Mac. Went back and forth on Discord, but never resolved mis-installed files, corrupted files/thumbnails, ui not right, etc. A local user's install should somehow be verified by running another tool to help debugging. Perhaps publish a map of directories as verification? Maybe it's me or my lack of GPU, but "me" is an unhappy paid user, atm. I'll gladly update this rating once I get it working, but today I'm tired.
    * Their true-terrain flagship product is a different matter and works fine, tho.

    I also have other addon's from this developer. The addons from True-VFX all work very reliably and are extensive in their functions. But I would also like to highlight the good documentation and tutorials for smooth operation, as well as the ongoing updates of versions. Especially the latter ensures planning reliability and sustainability. I hope it stays that way.

    Neither 2.1 Beta nor 2.04 work with Blender 3.4.1. I get error messages like

    Dependency cycle detected:
    NTtvfx_true-sky/NTREE_OUTPUT() depends on
    NTtvfx_true-sky/DRIVER(nodes["True-Binary"].dust_density) via 'Drivers -> NTree Output'
    NTShader Nodetree/NTREE_OUTPUT() via 'RNA Target -> Driver'
    NTtvfx_true-sky/NTREE_OUTPUT() via 'Group Node'

    or

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\True-Sky\scripts\ui\main.py", line 104, in draw
    box.prop(obj, "location", index=2, text="Cloud Altitude")
    TypeError: UILayout.prop(): error with argument 1, "data" - Function.data does not support a 'None' assignment AnyType type

    I was never able to create any of the described effects. The addon is unusable.

      Hi Hans,

      Ideally it's best to contact us for support for something like this before leaving a poor rating. This is a really simple fix!

      The Dependency Cycle messages are not errors. This is just the Blender printing out a message about the dependencies that we add to the shaders (If this is enabled, then show these options etc). This it normal and supposed to happen.

      The actual error just means you have managed to delete the clouds from the outliner. Toggling "enable clouds" off and then on fixes this.

      You can get in touch with us on Discord at https://discord.gg/true-vfx or send us a message on Blender Market

    The results can be great, I was able to enhance my renders with True-Sky almost immediately after starting using it. The promo images are very convincing and I hope to get there and render images like those. However when it comes to controls and setting up a particular scene you have in mind, this addon is very-very far from perfect, also very far from what it promises. I do not feel in control at all, in fact I feel completely lost about what each slider does (clouds & fog), even after weeks, they never seem to do what you'd expect. I contacted support and was told the settings are not designed to give full control, only to tweak presets. Honestly that was a shock to me, not what I expected. Instead of being in control I end up having to settle for a workflow where you pick a preset, randomly push some sliders like a random seed generator and hope to get something close to what you wanted, hopefully before you get too frustrated with the terrible user experience... Fine-tuning is often impossible, once I get something close to what I wanted and wish to only fine-tune it, the sliders would either change nothing or completely upset everything, no matter how carefully I change. I haven't given up and hope to get more experienced and efficient in using True-Sky but I certainly also hope that the controls and user experience will be improved in the future.

    Truly amazing, makes gorgeous skies. But works a lot greater on my new 3060 than my Intel I5🤣 I will use this addon for all of my future projects. Thanks.

    Quite instantly became my go to choice for lighting my scenes!
    The amount of control and the quality of the sky and especially the haze and fog effects are worth the small increase in render time!
