Time of day wrong in render
-
I'm apparently continually newbie-esque in VRAY and sorry to bother the group.
This should be easy but of course when you're under a time crunch the answer is hidden. (I've searched...but no luck).
When I render (vfsu) the time of day is wrong and showing odd shadows that I didn't knowingly create. Its different that what is shown in SketchUP view. Never had the problem before.
It must be a simple setting? it's a big model though. when I adjust the time of day in Sketchup it has no effect on the render output.
any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

-The model is located manually and I believe I have the UTC correct for this time zone.
-The shadows show correctly in the SU view. -
Are you using a dome light?
Provided that you are using the VRaySky, the sun should match SU exactly.

I've tried it both ways with and without a dome light and the sun angle seems locked at an odd and unnatural angle of about 5:30 AM.... (the sun is set in vray to +/-5:30 PM in June, in Seattle so trying to shown a little light on the north side of a building)
I've since tried to turn on/off GI and several other things that might affect it. Maybe its overloaded or corrupt, but I've done bigger models before.
The rendered angle doesn't change if I change the time in SU.
Odd. I'm now copying the model into a new environment to see if I can work around.
thx. ....deadline looming.... Greg
