Animating DayLight Environment

[mikefrisk]

I tried plugging in a scalar node to the suns hour input but it does nothing. I then tried setting it to direction and pluging in a vector, still nothing. I must be missing something but I can't think of what. Is it possible to animate the environment?

I am testing this feature here and all works fine. Can you share a sample scene with this problem?

Restarted and now its working, very strange. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

It happened again. It seems to happen only after I apply animation to other lights in the scene.

Weird, here it works, but I don't have the scene objects. Do you have this problem only in the IPR while you move the time line, or you get the same problem with F9/F10 rendering?

It seems to have trouble going past 24 hours so I had it reset to 0 after 24 and go back up.

This seems to have fixed it for now.

Ahhh, yes this could be the problem. This parameter should be always between 0.0 and 24.0.

Makes perfect sense. I just figured after 24 it would assume its day 2, i'm not always very bright.

Hi Juanjo,
Thx for your perfect job !

And for North Offset, this between 0.0 and ??
Why some values are differents in envelope mode ?
Where we can find the ratio for that ?

Thx in advance & best regards.

If you are not aware about the parameters limits, you can check this parameter in the Standalone. For example the north offset in standalone works from -1.0 to 1.0, but in the LW plugin it is mapped to degrees, so it should work from -360º to 360º

If you want to animate this parameter, you can link a constant angle node to the north offset input. The range for the animated parameter should be again from -360º to 360º
