Bravo to make this available. Thank you !

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

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

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.

Thanks a lot, face! That will do... =]

Hi face,
a question: what's the correct way to rotate the north arrow (= the pointcloud) in the direction I need?
If I do so, there's an offset between the light and the coordinate generated by the sun position core.

Thanks!
Eugen

You can simply change the north offset in the location compound to the location which you need.
An offset of 0 means, north is in +z. 90 means in -x, -90 in +x and +-180, north is in -z.

I see, thanks, face! Could have figured...
