Hi,

I've created a scene and found that setting the Enviroment in Mental Ray to Physical Sun and Sky and then using Final Gather gives very good results.

I now want to animate the scene so I added a camera and animated its movement. The problem is that the camera doesn't see the Physical Sun and Sky and the scene is black.

Is there a way to accomplish this? Either by making the camera see the Physical Sun and Sky or doing the animation a different way (i.e. not using a camera).

For now I'll use a different light source which doesn't give as good results.

TIA

You need to click the "update cameras" button in the mia_physicalSky attributes.
This will make the required connections on your new camera.

Thanks for the reply David.

I found removing the Physical Sun and Sky and adding it back fixes the problem too.
