Sun Angle/Camera/Flythrough

Dwight

I've just done a two camera animation where the two cameras, not unlike the two Ronnies, have different sun angles. As the frames go by, the sun angle changes as if it was a time lapse picture.

I'm relatively new to doing animations like this and am puzzled. Do I have to manually set every camera on a path to match - or did I, by some perverse copy and drag of a camera, create this problem?

The sun control dialog says that both cameras are set the same, but on closer look, the plan sun icons differ.

What gives?

It's been a while since I've done this, but the "between frames" should change incrementally between the settings of the two key frame cameras.

Is this what's happening?

Is this what you want?

Sober? Don't get me started. Comics need their timing.

It was just a surprise that you could accidentally set cameras to different sun angles, and as a path on an animation this could be a serious error...

Are renderings a lie?
Well, yes.
Sort of like saying "I love you" when you just met her. You want it to be great. There's no reason it won't be great. But dang if fire doesn't really look like that.

We spend a lot of time trying for "realistic" effects. I've just been admiring some stills that have great fill light on leather dining room furniture. Amazing atmospherics. Trouble is, the last time I was in a men's club [Boston] the furniture there didn't have these great qualities.... and so it goes.
