It looks like you didn't understand the Guitta's post, so I'll try to be clear : Yes, the light will follow the movement of the camera, but will not follow its eventual rotation. And, as the sun is considered 'infinite light' the position isn't important and don't make the shadows move. Only orientation (rotation) of the sun will change shadows. For being convinced, create a new scene with a day atmosphere setting and create one primitive. Render it and try to remember what you've seen. Then, drop your sun object behind the floor line (yes, do it !). Render again and you can see that nothing has changed... :-) Now, reload the same atmosphere. Uncheck the 'Point at Camera' box and then, rotate the sun. Render. Now, even it the sun didn't moved, the light changed... The sun settings are something special to work with in Vue but, when you understand how it works, everything is OK... Argentium Thri'ile
