which direction the sun goes?

[kivig]

Apparently I'll make a fool of myself because of trivia, but which direction the sun goes?
In Octane, when I set northern hemisphere the sun goes CCW, and CW in southern. Shouldn't it be vice-verse?
And why does it changes north/south orientation in different poles? It'd be a bit easier to tune lighting if one could make the sun shine from whichever side one needs.

I believe there are still some issues with the physical sky part.. just use the sun rotation to rotate it around and try the hour setting and just fiddle around with sliders.. you'll get it

there's a bug and a solution, just, it's in the pool of todo's together with the rest 100 things to do
we'll try asap.

Hi,

Yeah I noticed something perculiar with the sun when I tried to do a shadow study a couple of weeks ago. Was trying to find where the building cast its shadow at 12 noon on June 21. The shadow that was cast by Octane was totally different to that cast by 3ds max and another CAD program, which were pretty much identical.

So I assume this is caused by the bug referred to in this thread.
