Sun position plugin
Re: Sun position plugin
Hi, I own 2010 and never upgraded so I was trying to use the "unofficial" kinematics part of that version to rotate the null like the plugin did.
BUT I just couldn't get it to work. It seemed like I needed too many decimal places and ICE didn't seem to go to that degree. I could upload it (if I can find it) and you could see if you can make it work, but I've pretty much given up using SI for Archviz. I use Sketchup and Octane now.

Re: Sun position plugin
A quick preview.
Changes to make are a matrix output and some fixed input locations...

Re: Sun position plugin
Amazing!
Could you explain a little bit about coding the SunPositionCore Node?

Re: Sun position plugin
Which detail on coding, the ICE-stuff itself or the sun algorithm for the position calculation?

Re: Sun position plugin
well i was interested in coding of custom ice nodes.
never done this.

In the SDK are many examples where you can learn a lot.
Here the next try...

Re: Sun position plugin
Two new previews on Vimeo.
I think the plugin should be done now...

Re: Sun position plugin
Ok, here is the ICE version for Softimage 2011- Windows x64.
It looks a little bit different from the videos above, the result is the same.
How it works and how you can use it, is shown in the video below.
Hope you have fun with it ;)

Re: Sun position plugin
very cool!
I'll have a look asap, it will a nice tool for archviz timelaps renders ;)

Re: Sun position plugin
Thank you Face, and great work. You can't imagine how great addition to my tools is this for me.
Re: Sun position plugin
Bravo to make this available. Thank you !
Re: Sun position plugin
Thanks, Face, for the great addon!
I'm too stupid to figure the basic setup, though. Could you please demonstrate the necessary steps?
Create a pointcloud, add a simulated ICE tree, add the "sun position frame" node, ok.
Now what? Do I need to add a point first? Nothing's happening when I move the time slider.
Thanks and best regards,
Eugen

Re: Sun position plugin
I will upload a simple test scene when i´m back from work, in about 10hrs ;)

Re: Sun position plugin
Ok, here is a simple test scene which shows how to drive the position of a point light, with the calculated sun position from the plugin.
