  • Sun Moon sky C4d R10 Turn on or off

    Posted by Randal Radabaugh on November 23, 2010 at 3:36 pm

    I hate asking for help. And being a learner of C4d it is inevitable.

    This is another question I have to ask.

    Regarding SKY and the Sun and Moon. Using C4d R10

    After appx 3 months playing with C4d, I am stumped as to how to turn off the sun. Messed with every attribute and parameter in sky. Only way is to turn clock to nite time, but that is not satisfactory.

    would like to use the sun and or moon to create some nifty looking
    atmospheres. But if I use daylight Sun, I still have huge glow and a pin light even when I change the color of the sun,size,distance etc.

    Also, I have nevr evr seen the moon no matter how many tries and settings I try. Even set dates to Full moons and still no moon.
    size distance dark seems to have no effect.

    Or is this a case of I have to make image or texture and place into scene?

    Any One know how to turn off / on sun, moon just seems the parameters and attributes are not.maybe a pointer,link,lesson,guide.

    I’m using R12 so it may have changed, but you can turn off the sun by going to the basic tab of the sky object and unchecking “Sun”. The moon does show up if enabled in the details tab, but it looks quite small unless you zoom the camera in quite a bit. Try turning off the starts to make it more obvious.

    Well I have looked and looked.

    after some more digging I have again found it- after asking.

    It is in astro of attributes

    Have to select the object from a twirl down (ie Sun, mercury,pluto)

    and tick/untick Show

    Quite hidden actually.

    Thanks for replying.
