In Max, create a daylight system and use that system to drive the environment through the Maxwell plug in. The Max system has a compass too, which you can rotate to make north any direction you want.

After you make the daylight system, you can keyframe the parameters however you want.

w maxie północ masz na "górze"
możesz tym sterować za pomocą GROUND ROTATION w ustawieniach pluginu. (nie wiem czy da się to animować).

ten sam compass z helperów nic nie da .
w którymś z systemów jest jest ten kompas od razu (przynajmniej w moim maxie 7.0)
spróbuj dalight system, sun&sky, albo w światłach photometric , gdzieś to jest. tylko tutaj nie mam maxa pod ręką.

The compass is the one on the daylight system icon. Rotate the icon and you are rotating the north.
