Multiple Sun/Sky Setups

[flino2004]

what I do is animate the sun rotation(vraydome+hdri) 360 degrees with 360 frames so I move the frame to the angle that I want.

I am waiting for the day that you can tell the scene what time of day, what location, and the conditions. We are almost there, but we need the clouds.

Doesn't Vue do that?

Doesn't Vue do that?

I looked into that a long time ago and Vue and VRay didn't play well together. Animating an HDRI with the sun locked to it is probable the way to go, however the time of day will not obviously change. It would be cool to grab real world data and display that. From sunrise to sunset, with animated clouds and everything. That, to me, would be awesome.

Pretty cool

I'd have a scene for each camera and just xref the contents in. That way all that is in each file is a camera, the lighting setup and a bunch of xrefs. I think it gives you the best flexibility and allows you to adapt all lights and settings for each render.
