Heheh. And what simulated "camera" aperture and shutter speed and ISO are you going for?
The fact is that a photo of a sunlit scene using ISO 200 f/16 1/200s is the same brightness as a moonlit scene using ISO 1600 f/2.8 1/25s. If you were doing a night shot with a camera set that way, everything would be just as bright as broad daylight, so you'd set your light intensity exactly the same as for full sun. However, it would be a bit more blue, unless you have the white balance set exactly the same.
Having said all that, try a single infinite light, no IBL. Set the light any brightness you like, but probably you want around 50%, and make it a little bit blue.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
