Tip

Too bright or too dark in the 3D workspace

If the atmospheric effects are affecting your workspace, turning it too dark or too bright while you work because of the changing camera angles, you can go to the Stage and Atmosphere button then turn off the HDR Effect and the Tone Map until you are ready to render the final movie or image. Just remember to turn them on before rendering or you won't have the lighting and atmospheric look we achieved earlier!

Another option would be to reduce our render to smooth shader or less. If we have the Final Render box checked on the Render menu it will be rendered with the highest quality render setting available regardless of the render setting we are working in.
