      Hi guys, I live in Australia UTC+10 hours and have never had a problem with being able to set shadows correctly but this is happening which is really weird.
      Generally when I would toggle the slider across the months the time slider would show dawn and dusk time; now it shows 12am and 11:59pm which means if I set the month slider to say the first few month of the year the shadows disappear [sun sets] at 12pm and visa versa for the later months...

      I've attached a link of a quick screen video to show what is happening. [unfortunately it was a little over 4Mb so I couldn't directly upload it]

        Did you check the geolocation of the model?

          No issues with geo-locating, mate. Checked that.

            Maybe the model is at some 'insane' location, far from the ORIGIN? That seems to cause some problems as well.

              notice that your shadow sunset/sunrise times aren't set.

              it does suggest that your model has no geo-location.

              check to see if it is located.

              here u can see that for UTC 0 that the sunset/rise times are set...
