Then, we will use Lux with a point light to create a sun, and then we'll use it with spot lights to create rays. Finally, we will use some techniques to integrate the artificial sun into the real sky. After you watch this series of tutorials, you will have a thorough knowledge of a very useful plugin that can make your shots look awesome.
