It works, and now i can do the magic!

Next question is about sun, I put the sun object and i cant find anywhere citys, north ? i m only able to move sun with "sun expressions" after i press 10000 icons and hit my mouse hard i was able to move it with move command. So how i can move sun without hiting my keyboard and mouse

What is shotcut for zoom all ?

Where i can turn off autolight option. I was looking in general options but i didt find it?

This is for now, I ll be back !

Autolight is only on if there are no other lights in the scene... once another light is added, the autolight goes off. Personally I have never liked the built in sun. I will just create a light and set the type to either Distant or Parrallel. I can then position the light to where it should be. Give the light a slight bit of color and a hard shadow with about 75% opacity in the shadow setting. Then I just fill in with a light dome to simulate some Global Illumination.

I am hoping to get the light dome tutorial up by the end of this week
