Hi Strelok

That's a lovely image and theme - especially considering you are new to Vue - wow! >8o)

I don't know if this might be of help, but I often find it useful to open a few preset atmospheres (e.g. F5 -> Simple Sunset -> Red Sunset / Red Sunset 2 / Cliche), examine and tweak those atmospheres using the editor(F4).

For scenes with Suns in the background, I usually add a spotlight to illuminate foreground figures a bit like they do in film photography - the strength and realism is up to you, but it sometimes helps.

Here is a very basic render that came out better than expected to show what I mean - pretty much a direct Poser import + preset atmosphere + front spotlight

Keep up the great work!

Kind regards
