Kris B. Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi, I am in the process of modelling and creating a shadow study for a 114 unit hotel. I have also been asked to generate Sun's Eye View diagrams. Is there a way to set up a camera at exact co-ordinates for a particular time of day to replicate a view as if looking at the site from the sun's direction? Am a bit of a newbie, so hope this makes sense. Thanks. Regards Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 That is probably the most silly request I've ever heard of. A sun's view? Who cares what the sun would see? You should just tell them you'll get them a good view of the building & site, whether or not the sun is ever in that exact spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abicalho Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 The Sunlight in VIZ can be used as a view the same way any spotlight is. Just press $ in any view and it'll turn into the light's view. Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reitveld Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Very cool... I did not know about the ‘$’ key. I do have to say that I’m confused why you would want to know what the sun ‘sees’ but I could understand if the sun had to line up exactly at a certain spot on a certain day. Viewing with the ‘$’ key would be a nice double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Thanks for the shortcut Alex. Don't know why they want the suns eye view - but hey who am i to argue with a "paying" client - as long as they are happy Regards Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
