hi there! can you help me create a perfect ambience for a desert scene? it's a small town with an outpost and i want it to look like a bright, hot and sunny day in the desert. maybe some fog or dust. i made a screenshot of what it looks like now. it's not so perfect for an outdoor scene so i would like to ask for some help with the settings as seen in the picture. what must i change to make it look better?

please ignore the wrong grass settings, i didn't change this yet it's just about the lights, the right fraction of the screen

yellows oranges, reds and purple, to a deep blue sky. More yellow orange in the morning and red purple at night.

Most lighting in the desert is low power, so it is yellow at around the luminousity of 100 to 120 about 1/3 saturation Static. Very rearly as for some street lights the are a bit on the blueish side, but appear dull white.

bright, yellow... even some yellow fog (sandstorm).
soft shadows (not so dark)...

Last time I've been at Oman, everything was bright and in distance yellow (sand).
During the night it was a clear sky... and yes hot (39c in the night...)

Hi Nuncio,

Reckon I'd go with the golden sky, add some haze with fog, and a combination of brightness and to some degree red and fog intensity to alter time of day.

Good luck!!!
