Hi, I don’t have the ‘Sun source angle’ feature in Sun intensity when path tracer enabled? Auto update turned on & running Twinmotion 2022.1.2 (18809486). Any help appreciated.
Hello ,
Thank you for contacting us and reporting this issue. I am not aware of this problem and is the Icon itself missing or the option is grayed out? Could you provide more details so I can better respond to what is not working?
In the Path Tracer the Sun object is no longer visible so some settings won't make a difference such as the "Sun size" but you can place a Skydome instead to show the sun position. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
PT ON
PT OFF
PT ON with Skydome
Please reference our Release notes as well as there are limitations with the Path Tracer such as the Sun Shape visibility.

Hello ,
Thank you for the follow-up and adding the screen-capture. Maybe I am forgetting something but from my understanding the sun angle is set by the time of day and calendar month. If you would like to see the value of the angle, I suggest making a suggestion in the road-map: https://portal.productboard.com/7pu88c9kpmqtzt8hwg6arujh/tabs/4-under-consideration
Here is the place where you can adjust the "angle of the sun" via time of day, location, north, and calendar month - please let me know if I miss understood or missed something important.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply, Vincent.
It's actualy a new feature that was posted on youtube T.M.
This is the youtube link but but the 'sun source angle' feature not present in the sun intensity tab as in video. https://youtu.be/vmQRGET6Ris
Maybe I should uninstall & reinstall.
It's really not a problem if I can't enable it but just wondered if I was doing something wrong my end?
Many thanks for your help, Vincent.

Hello ,
Thank you for the follow-up and I notified our team regarding this discrepancy. At this time the slider sun size does what the video shows in Path Tracer for the Sun source Angle. Thus Sun Size changes the sun size in Raster but in Path Tracer it adjusts the shadow softness as well. Sorry for the confusion.
Kind regards,
Vincent B.
Ah, I see…Makes sense!
Many thanks Vincent.
