Linking Vray sun to HDRI sun

[philvanderloo]

I'm following this youtube tutorial-

on linking my vray sun to my hdri sun and everything goes fine till the last step.

At 12:10 in this video he instructs to use wire parameters to make the dome light's

horizontal rotation control the hdri rotation.

After linking my vray sun to the dome light, I follow the steps to set up the wire parameters to link to the texture background. And when I click connect, my HDRI sun disappears and is no longer aligned with my vray sun.

(Watch the sun disappear in the camera 2 view when I click connect). Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to prevent it. Here's a link to the video of me performing the operation- http://youtu.be/dSpes79f0b4

i haven't watched the full length of the tut you linked to, but i remember following Viscorbel's guide of the same thing. That worked out great. Try and see if he does it the same way:

Its probably none of my business, but I worked with HDRI+SUN set up for a very long time and IMO it not as accurate as HDRI only.

 

I recommend staying only with HDRI and wiring it with a arrow-shaped object to indicate the light direction.
