      Greetings all!

      I made a short animation of a daylight shadow analysis (Top view perspective)
      I would like for the animation to show the time of day,
      so that the shadows have a specific reference point within the animation.

      Anyone know of a sure fire way to do this?

        I've used an extension called Time. It works quite well.

          I've seen this in other forum posts, however the link you posted shows the product/plugin as "unavailable". πŸ˜•

            Sorry. That's unfortunate. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

              Hi Arthur, hi folks.

              Maybe you can rename each scene with the hour. This wold work for an animation seen using SketchUp.

              Or use layers to make visible, in turn for each scene, a screen text showing the time for that particular scene. This would work for escorted animation.

              Just ideas.
