Sun Multiplier

[glorybound]

I have tried everything (I think) to get my sun to show using the Vray Sun/Sky, but nothing is happening. My units are inches and I can see the size of the sun in wireframe. The invisible us unchecked, but it just isn't showing.

It isn't showing in your background, is that what you mean? It may take a while to get it to a position that is directly visible; try lowering the sun close to the horizon.

Best regards,

Sun Multiplier

I got it. I had to move the sun further from my model.

Thats the 2nd problem that you have fixed by yourself only shortly after posting. Perhaps hold of for a little bit in future you might solve the problem yourself without needing to post.

But then he will never catch you up in the post count!

Problem

I usually try everything and read every relative post before posting. I had a third one today, but I solved it right before I posted . I still don't get the sun thing though. I would think you can see the sun no matter how high or what locations. I can lower the sun a foot and you can no longer see it.

jow, sshhhhhhh

quote vlado, regarding vRay sun:

"It does show up, it's just a matter of careful placing. Note that even though the sun icon may be in your camera view, this does not mean that it will be visible in the rendering as well. The icon has a definite location in the scene, but in the rendering, the sun is infinitely away, so you have to look at approximately the same direction as the sun target line."

...i think i remember that the sun has some AA issues because of its insane brightness, so you're better off comping it anyway, or put a sphere in your scene to represent the sun
