I can't see the mountains, PBR help

@Renerabbitt

And whomever else are good at these kind of views.  There's a few of you out there, names are not coming to mind.  I usually don't spend a lot of time on PBRs, basically OOTB settings.  They usually turn out good enough for presentation sakes.  HOWEVER this one house I am doing, I just cant get the PBR to show the mountains through the glass.  This is why the lot was sold to my client and why they want a house that they can see those mountains from inside.  The least I can do is give them a representation of that view, right?  I have spent a good hour on these few views, and I played with every setting that I know of, every sun position, sun intensity and even turned the glass to air insulation....  it just isn't coming through.  I even tried Chat GPT.. looks cheesy IMO.

 

Is there a setting or two that I need to adjust..

 

Thank you in advance.

Michael, try setting your backdrop intensity to ~500.

 

Here's a good resource BTW - https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1977/interior-ray-tracing.html?playlist=103
