Hi,
I´m trying to render a sun time animation and the sun is always in the same position. Is it possible to animate?
I´m Using Cinema 4d R12 on Mac, and Maxwell 2.5.1 latest plugin

Thanks

Here is the way to do it:
  1. add a point light to the model
  2. add a Sun Expression tag to the light
  3. make sure 'Interpolate Time' is enabled in the tag
  4. animate time in the tag
  5. export your animation
Note that this is effective only for export/render, not in Maxwell Fire -- I'll see about changing that.
