What/s differences between the Highlight and Intensity of the sun ?

[f]

Located   the   more  settings  of  the  sun  of  lighting    ,I   find   the  same  effects  while  setting   the  same  digital ? Why  settings  of  10000  (max)?

In  general  Being  1.0  of  the  sun intensity  and  Highlight  to  0.0,   could  you give me  some  explanations?

Thanks  a   lot  in  advance!

Solar highlight allows you to see some reflections of the sun.  Perfect mirrors (shininess = 1.) currently do not reflect the solar disk, but glossy materials and imperfect reflectors will if highlight is set to a non-zero value. This is turned off by default since the reflected sun can be very bright.  Reflected sky, including a bright area around the sun, is always included.  Leave the highlight setting at 0.0 for most applications.

 

The intensity setting should be left in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 to provide a good simulation.

Changing the brightness of lights in nXt is sometimes difficult to see, particularly if you only have one light.  The tone-mapping will compensate.  You'll need to use the Brightness setting.  Use accurate values for the light intensity whenever possible.

Thanks  a  lot  for  explanations  ,In gereral  ,sun  highlight  is  setting  to  0.0,because  the  reflected  sun is  also  very  brightnessly!
