Linking the Sun to the Camera

Normally, you'd have to reposition the sun every time you changed the camera to maintain a certain effect or sunlight angle. However, if you apply the Link Sun to Camera, your sun will track the camera. The position of the sun relative to the camera remains the same no matter where the camera is positioned. This way you can set up the sun position once and then not worry about losing the effect as you move the camera. This feature can also be very useful when you're animating your scene. Refer to Section 15: "Animation" for more.

To link the sun to the camera:

1. Display the Sky & Fog palette by clicking the Sky & Fog button at the top of the Bryce window.
   
   
2. Click the Sky Lab button. The Sky Lab appears.
   
   
3. Click the Sun & Moon tab.
   
   
4. Click the Link Sun to View button. When this option is enabled, your sun will always remain in the same position relative to the camera. Wherever you move the camera the sun will follow. This is an easy way of seeing how a sunset will look against different skylines.
