Getting a REALLY washed out render in my orthographic top view. Tried researching it online but not much available. Have exhausted everything I know. Adjusted the exposure nodes gamma. Manually loaded the PS&S simple exposure node into Mental Rays lens shader slot. And on and on. Could use a little help.

Maya 2015 with the most current updates. Dropped my gamma to 1.3 with almost no change. Even dropped it to 0 and still little or no change.

It's most likely a gamma issue. However, the physical sky also doesn't work well with ortho cameras, you're probably better off using a perspective camera with an altered angle of view(set to 1.00).
