(Resolved) [HOU-4363]Animating VraySunLight hour not working

[marc_cacciola]

I am trying to make a simple solar study animation using the Vray Sun Geographic position. I am unable to get the thing to animate. I have tried keyframing and using wedges in PDG but it seems not to respond at all to these values. If I shift them manually it works and renders but this is very laborious.

Attached is a test scene with both approaches, keyframed animated and PDG wedge attributes. The values change in the time but the sun remains static, it does not move.

It is very odd as it should be a very simple common thing...

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Here are some specs:
Houdini FX Version 20.0.590
V-Ray for Houdini hash:82c1b12 from 19 Feb 2024 11:08
V-Ray Core 6.20.05 [31923cf8] from 17 Feb 2024
