First thing to do to warm up the Sun and Sky

Our friend, Majid, a long-time Kerkythea user and new lover of Twilight suggests some simple things for all new users to Twilight, and even suggested we make them 'permanent' default settings.
We'll share them here as a courtesy for all to ponder:

- Change the default sunlight slider to between 3-7 so that prevents noisy and speckled shadows in clay renderings and low/prelim settings.
- Change max sun intensity , maybe to 3 or 4, to prevent over exposed renderings (you can always tone map the image later to brighten the brights and darken the darks)
- Set Sky Turbidity to 3, and the sun color to rgb(242, 225, 218) or similar warm color, this will avoid the bit of bluish tint you sometimes see with exterior renderings (otherwise one can do a white-point level balance in their photo editor, and use a bit of soft glow and warming filter to get a more pleasant warmth)
