Dear Octane team,
An easier way to position the sun in the daylight environment would be most welcomed. Something that doesn't need me trying to locate where in the world the scene is supposed to be located or modify and set so many sliders to just try and get the sun to be where I need it to be. Just 2 sets of control. One how high or low the sun is on the horizon, and another that controls the direction of the sun with regards to the camera which can be a slider with 0 to 360 as value.
E.g. Direction of sun slider - 0/360 would place the sun behind the camera, 90 on the left of the scene, 180 on the back of the scene, and 270 on the right of the scene. Height of sun slider - 0 to 100, 0 would place it at horizon, 100 at the top. The two values will position the sun with regards to the camera.
Can something like that be implemented as a separate option from what is provided today ? Users of Octane can use either one they prefer - location and time based lighting (current) or just control that actual sun position by setting just 2 sliders.
Thanks,
Rajib
