In the standalone Octane Render, I love the control over the daylight environment. I've just started using the 3DS max plugin b2.57 and I haven't had time to really look into it too deeply.
However, I did notice that it includes an Octane daylight, but there doesn't seem to be nearly as much control over it (setting the sun positioning based on longitude, latitude, GMT, north offset and hour). It's not a system.

I'm currently working on a project that requires this level of control. Is there a way of setting up something similar with the 3DS max plugin using the Octane Daylight?
Or at least compatability with the IES Daylight System?

At this moment you can setup only sun position. Probably I will add editional sun type to be able to setup all this parameters.

create a system-->daylight
create an Octane daylight
create a position constrain for the target and for the Octane sun head

Thank you, Karba, it's something that comes in handy so it would be very convenient to have in the plug in.

Thanks, gabrielefx, that sounds as though it will work for now.
