Hi,

I still have problems with the sun setup!

Would it be possible to handle, maybe in next update,
"elevation" and "orientation" and "time" in only one tag?
I'm always fighting with the c4d sun tag and the octane tag.

Best, if I can just to place the position of the sun and a target
without struggling/switching "north" to "south" then trying to switch
between "west" and "ost" and the "north offset" in octane tag.
When I still cannot get the right position I try different times but
then I loose the elevation again ...........

But anyway! I love Octane more and more!

you can already do
if you don't need a precise position and time, you can use a distant light with or without a target and an octane sun tag and that's it. the inclination has an impact in the color of the sun and you can use any parameter like north offset or sun size.

Hi,

I just tried that out by myself while writing this post
and I'm now woundering, why I did'nt get the idear to try that earlier.
