The deletion of displacement or SSS doesn't seem to work properly as it is not taken into account.
Yet, once these deletions are done, cloning the material makes a material which behaves as expected.

Thanks, I just noticed this one yesterday too.

Hi again Jeremy,

Since you seem to be around could you tell me which direction is considered "positive" in the scene rotation angle (clockwise or anti-clockwise) ?

Thanks !

[JDHill]

If you are looking down at the scene, a positive scene rotation will cause the environment to rotate clockwise. For future reference, you can check this visually by toggling-on the 'Show Sun in Viewport' switch in the Scene Manager > Location & Time toolbar - the sun light in the Rhino viewport will move as you adjust scene rotation.

[osuire]

Oh ! So that is equivalent to the scene rotating counter-clockwise....
I think this could be more user-friendly with some kind of little sketch-like dial :
I imagine a rotating "North" arrow on top of an image representing a scene in top view.
Then, there is no more question about what is a "positive" rotation.
After all, depending on which field you consider, a positive rotation isn't always the same thing...

What do you think ?

Are you thinking of something like the sun position indicator in Studio? I hadn't thought about it much, due to the plugin's interactive sun display...especially with V5's real time shadow display mode, it's pretty much a wysiwyg situation. That being the case, do you think an indicator would really be a necessary addition, or would it just be another switch for people to learn? Let me know what you think.

[Josephus Holt]

I personally would like very much the option to toggle a noth arrow indicator like in Studio...I really messed up a client presentation not long ago because the scene rotated opposite of what I expected. It just gives us another means to assure we're "right on" besides the wysiwyg in Rhino 5.

[osuire]

Jeremy,

I think the wysiwyg is fine but still requires some thinking / verifying, whereas the North arrow is pretty straight forward.
This arrow comes with most architect drawings I use as work base, but I have no idea what "should" be the proper sun orientation in Adelaïde on the 5th of March at 3 P.M.

See what I mean ?

Cheers,
