It seems that the month is always January. The 15th of January is transmitted as the 15th day of the year, as can be seen in Studio...
As studio shows, they have the right algorithms in place - so on the long run I'm not too concerned about this.

A relatively minor problem maybe but it still forces me to open up Studio just to pop the correct date in. Maybe this will be fixed soon. I've also noticed location coordinates I normally use now place me in the sea!

Don't get me wrong: I'm not happy about this either.
This bug is in there since late April last year, and like a couple of other bugs
it still isn't fixed. To fix this specific bug shouldn't cost you more than
2 hours and this already includes testing and packaging.
However, at least they have a solution and there is a workaround,
which is clumsy, agreed.
They should fix this in Studio as well. Nearly nobody knows the day of year,
so everybody has to open the date input box.

The sun is 180 degrees turned compared to the cinema sun, or?
I normally put all my objects in a null-object and turn it (including the cam) by 180 degrees, so i see the effect of the sun and where might be big shadows...

So when we render through Cinema 4D (NOT IN STUDIO )
I have to presume the North is not on top but in the left ?
Thats it?
