How to link a Corona Sun to an HDRI in 3dsmax

In this Video Tutorial, we are going to learn how to bind a Corona Sun to an HDRI to move both at the same time using the Sun rotation.

Link the Sun using this expression - [radToDeg(rotation)/360, 0, 0] - don't forget to change "rotation" for your variable name

Probably the most useful tutorial I've seen in a long time

@6:10 You should set active the 2nd Euler XYZ so u can move the sun alone

[evertuser]

Very useful and great approach. Thank you!

one thing if you match 2 sun together, so difficult to adjust, cause have 2 light sun and no match together right?

[mohammedabdallah]

thank you great tutorial but i have issue, the shadow of sun not the same of hdri how can i adjust both to be same?

[lucen_visuals]

Do I have to do the whole same process if I change the HDRi map?

[jorgea.ruizmorales]

I get the Error Parsing Expression warning window when I type in the expression; this is what I get: Error Parsing Expression [radToDeg(rotation. Any insight why is that happening? Thanks

Hey! Great tip! In my case, I need the sun to be linked to another object. When I rotate the sun by hand, everything works well. but when the sun rotates due to the link - nothing happens .. Please help me to solve the problem

This is pretty cool but i wonder what is the real application of this technique. I'v been doing archviz for about 10 years and never felt like this is something i'm missing. Just wondering.

its kind of complicated and need practice to memorize the steps .. unfortunately its easier with vray
