Code: [Select]

"06:00": sun.position = eulerangles [0, 0, 0]

Code: [Select]

Hi,

is this script any different from the 3ds Max native Daylight system which you can use with Corona sun, that does the same thing?

you are mixing position with rotation.

try:

Code: [Select]

sun.position = [0, 0, 0]

Hi,

our devs have suggested the following code. Please try this and let me know if it solves your issue.

Code: [Select]

corona_sun = getNodeByName "Corona Sun001"
corona_sun.position = [5,5,5]

Replace the "Corona Sun001" string by name of the Corona Sun in your scene
