Link Vray camera to time of day?

[plummer_adam@hotmail.com]

Hi Guys,

 

 

For 90% of the projects I work on I have roughly 8-10 views which all require a different time of day in the daylight settings to match photography. Has anybody found a way to set each vray camera at a specific time of day to avoid constantly changing the time for each camera?

 

 

Cheers,

Adam

Scene states (or state sets) + batch render.

I just do different lights setups and group them in layers, I name the layers properly (Shot Hero 01, Shot Hero day, etc) and I turn on only the layer with the illumination that I want for that camera. Just be sure you turn off Hidden lights under Vray Global switches.

 

Maybe is not the most elegant way to do it but it works just fine to me.
