Thanks for the support!!!!
now here's another question:
I'm trying to use image based lighting but VUE only comes with one hdr of some kind of plaza. I'm making a scene of a small house in a tropical environment. I'd like to HDR the environment but I can't find an appropiate map. Browsing the program I found other HDRs, including a sky one. But when I try it, my scene gets very dark, like in a cloudy day, not the kind of illumination a beach could have.

I have searched the net all day long for other HDRs but none fits what I need. When I read a post in this forum that you could do your own HDRs from athmospheres or scenes in VUE, I tried making my own from the "hot summer day" atmosphere that comes with VUE ...

but my VUE espirit can't do that, only Infinite can ...

I bought espirit 'cause EON's page says it is best suited for architects (just like me) but It does not cover all my needs .....................

you're saying CG sunlight is actually based on a real thing????
