overbright sunlight

Post by white_waluigi »

Ufortunately i couldn't find a good Screenshot, that describes my Problem, but is there a way to make overbright sunlight?
A little bit like this (CS:S)
Image
It always looks like afternoon in my scenes and very dull, despite a full light.
So whats the best way to light a scene in bright blinding sunlight?
Maybe if you played AC4 Or Far cry 3 you can imagine what i mean.
Im sorry but its hard to describe, but i think the picture helps a bit
