Hi ahurse1
You achieve this by adding an effect such as the
Sun Effect in
Movie Mode.
Build With Effects allows you to 'Build' further in
Build Mode and have the effects also playing.
There is quite a lot of information found by doing a search on the forum. Sometimes of course too much and it needs a bit of filtering to get the right stuff. I have provided some below.
Also there is useful information in the FAQ, especially:
LUMION 3: Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts.
1. Use the
Sun Effect, add it to a clip or the movie.
2. Make some keyframes for different sun positions, see
Create Movie Effect keyframes in see
LUMION 3: Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts Note the following:
Topic:
Moving sun ".. the basic procedure is that you need to add the
Sun effect to a clip and then set a start and end keyframe for the
Sun height and
Sun heading sliders.
If you don't know how to create keyframes for
Movie effects, please search for '
keyframe' in
this FAQ post.
TIP: Keep in mind that the sun position will not change in the Movie preview, for example when clicking on the Play button, unless you click somewhere on the red time line slider. Another useful tip is the U key which will update the lighting and reflection texture. If you keep pressing this key, you can also preview the clouds in a higher resolution."
Time Lapse"Don't forget that the lighting for change in sun position does not get updated in the Video Mode Preview window unless one of the following happen:
1. end of drag the scrub-bar in video editor
2. finish a Play
3. press the U for Update key
4. render the movie in either 2 or 3 star."
HTH.
