      hello,

      just a quick question - how does SU's Shadow settings work, according to the timezones?

      i can light my model only when UTC -1 to -9 is used; other timezones give me absolute darkness.

      thanks for any info,
      ~E

        Hi Eidam,

        What I guess is that since the default location of the model is Boulder, CO, when you set anything that is on the other side of the world (when it is day time for Boulder), everything is dark because it is night there.

        Try to set your location first and then use the time zone setting.
