Title: Sun Below Horizon [C4D]
Post by: Br0nto on 2018-08-29, 19:39:01

Hi all,

I have a question regarding true day/night cycles in Corona. I used this method to link the Corona sun to the physical sky renderer to get accurate times of day:

However when the sun sinks to the horizon, instead of disappearing and darkness falling, the sun floats along the horizon at an angle of what I can only assume is 0 degrees before rising again on the opposite side of the sky.

When I removed the link and tried it with just the sun, same issue. I know it should be possible since there's a Corona animation showing a rising sun in this thread:

I've attached my scene showing the lowest I could get the sun to render, which prevents any sort of true day-into-night animation. Any ideas?

Ah, thanks Njen. I'd searched this forum but hadn't checked the bug forum.

I'll reply in the other thread to keep things together.
