What IBL controls apply to the Sun Sky/Darktide sections? Thats a new one I did not know about Can you give an example? Finally, after several attempts, I was able to move the Constant Color back to the upper area like it was before Not easy to do! :cry: I could make the Use IBL Constant - Gradient...

IBL settings.png Probably should move the Image section above the IBL section Everything in the IBL section applies to Gradient and Constant and Image. Some IBL controls apply to the Sun Sky/Darktide sections. So if you're going to move IBL section it would go near the bottom of the panel. IBL is n...

Those 2 depend on the IBL checkbox. It's weird for them to be above it. What two are you referring to? Diffuse Photons and Caustic Photons don't do anything without IBL enabled. So it's odd that they come before it. They should probably also be renamed to IBL Diffuse Photons and IBL Caustic Photons...

Also made a Sun Sky.RsSLgts light setup that co...

YafIBL_Section.jpg I hope you will consider doing something like this when adding a copy at the top. IBL applies to not just Cast Shadows. Also applies to Diffuse Photons, Caustic Photons and Samples. As it is now the Transparent and Materials Transparent Refraction are in the middle of those contr...

No lights in the scene. Constant type background. IBL enabled. Cast Shadows Enabled.
The cylinder is casting a shadow.

Gradient also casts shadows.
Image also casts shadows.

Having shadow control in the Sun Sky does not reflect how this works.

Here are two scenes, both have the same modified Background aspect
Moved the top Cast Shadows to the Sun Sky section
Constant Color - Default changed

Now it looks like only Sun Sky/Darktide will cast shadows. The change totally ignores all the other background types.
