LIGHTRAY is here

Perhaps we can think of light as falling a bit like maybe 11 am or so...
casting just a bit of shadow passed buildings but not really long shadows.

[Mouse]

Umm... just as a side note here.

I don't seem to have a vector direction thingummy for my light source.

If you tell me the angle I can set it automatic in CC3. I just need to know what it is.

thanks

Oh, sorry...
I will get on to that right away

[Mouse]

Compass angle? Are we doing this as a standard 315 degrees direction (lit from the northwest like relief shading)

[J.Edward]

You have just confused me...
I think I would say... yes? but 315 degrees is throwing me off.

Aaaah, yes
Though, seems off from the lightray

Never heard of 315 degrees angle... That must be some new dimension known only by Mouse

Btw. I have problems understanding the scale of the map, best for me that draw a sketch in 100% to show me building size.

[Mouse]

Maybe I'm wrong about the default setting.

Anyway - I managed to explain

What I'm saying is - what angle do we do this at, considering this is south of the equator.

EDIT: Lighting in CC3 is almost but not quite like lighting a 3D scene. Its pseudo 3D lighting so we have angle (the direction from which the light is coming), and inclination (the height of the sun = length of shadow)

Voolf - if you look at your own house and guess at the dimensions of the whole house, then convert that into a number of 1.5m units, you will be able to draw the rough size and shape of your house on your plan, which will give you a familiar size object to use as a comparison.
