Blender: 2.60
Category: 3D View
Python: 3.1
Script name: Sun Position
Author(s): Michael Martin
Status: >Contrib

%%%One or more sun objects (lamps or meshes) may be placed in 3D space on the ecliptic or as an analemma at a given distance from the scenes xyz axis. Object positions are updated in real time as the sliders are moved. If 2 to 24 objects are selected, they will be placed 1 hour apart. If more than 24 objects are selected, they will be evenly distributed.

Sliders allow for latitude, longitude, month, day, year, hour, UTC zone, north offset, and distance. The UTC zone only allows for positive values, but these will be properly applied based on whether the longitude is west of east of Greenwich England.

Options allow for showing the north offset, daylight savings time, and allowing multiple objects to be positioned.
A choice list of preset locations and times is also provided.

When using a sun lamp, a "Track to" constraint should be applied so that the sun points at an empty or some other object located at the convergence of the XYZ axes (x: 0, y: 0, z: 0). This will allow proper shadow direction for a given latitude and longitude.

The sun position panel shows up in the Properties Panel of the 3D window.

%%%Hi,

I've modified the sun position script so that it can use Cycle's sky texture as well as a named object making sun animations possible in Cycles. I'd like to be able to submit this, but am unable to upload and/or modify this page. Should I just submit a new extensions page or is there a way of updating this page and uploading the new script? Thanks

P.S. Here is a link to a video showing a sun animation made using the sun widget in Cycles with defined shadows composited using Blender's internal render engine: http://wiki.blender.org/uploads/2/28/SunPanel.swf

%%%Version 1.3

Matrix changes that took place within Blender sometime after revision 42615 have been added.

 The only thing effected was the compass needle pointing north.  If you are using a Blender revision before
 the matrix changes took place, version 1.2 should be used.

Sun lamps where changed to automatically point to the convergence of the XYZ axes (latitude/longitude) without needing a "Track to" constraint.
When multiple objects were selected, the azimuth and elevation represented the last object in the series. This has been reversed

so that this data matches the current time and location.%%%

%%%Hi,
Due to changes to the api including the merging of bmesh, several addons are outdated.
Please, if you are the author of an addon check your script with blender revision 44256 or newer.
That is builds made After blender 2.62 official release.
I would ask that updates be made to your addon before the Blender 2.63 release.
6-8 weeks away.
This allows time for the api to become more exposed & bmesh to stablize furthur.
If you need help, drop into irc freenode #blenderpython or #blendercoders & feel welcome to ask questions.
At the time of 2.63 release, scripts that are not repaired or in active developement will have their tracker page marked "Closed"
this will not affect your links to the tracker, similar to closing scripts in 2.49b, the page will be still availible & can be re-opened.

Thanks for your understanding & patience during these Exciting Times.

%%%Version 1.4.0

Tested to make sure it works with Blender 2.62 r44610

Added an inline preference panel that allows user to select one or two column output as well
as what data to include in the panel. This lets a user taylor the widget to a minimal for
simple animation purposes and maximum screen real estate or allow other options for study purposes.
Added logic for showing or hiding refraction which is most notable at sunrise and sunset.
Added toggle button for using day-of-year or month/day slider. Day-of-year slider allows a continuous
method of ecliptic and analemma movement without being stopped by month.%%%

%%%There was a bug report about this in the blender bug tracker, animating the time does not work:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=30610&group_id=9&atid=498

It's up to you if you want to support this, but the way updates are done now seems to depend on 3d view redrawing callbacks, which does not work for rendering in background mode or if no 3d view is visible. More reliable would be to use e.g. the scene_update_post handler:

%%%V 2.0.1 5/19/2012

Moved the sun widget into world properties.
The script has been modularized.
Added world map which can be used in the viewport or in the panel. Options allow for viewing sunrise, sunset and current time angles within the map.
Various map resolutions are available in a drop down menu
Allows for imageless map which works the same as the map but without wasting GPU texture space. In itself, it is a good tool for fine-tuning sunlight while working within the viewport.
Allow for wheel zoom, mouse zoom and panning. Zooming respects Blender's regular preferences for these actions.
Map opacity can be modified.
Help menu is available for the map by pressing F1 or H while mouse is over the map.
Fixed daylight savings.
Check for day that is out of range for month, e.g. Feb 30.
When using day, month sliders, objects didn't move for an analemma

but did move for day-of-year

As of Blender 2.65, changes were introduced to the python API which restricted access to bpy data.
This caused the script to break when trying to get user preferences.

%%%Greetings Tom,

In looking at the clipboard you sent, it looks like you may have moved the python code from its original directory
and renamed at least one of the modules causing the error.

The error says it occurred in E:\3D\BLENDER\2.65\scripts\addons\sun_positionNEWoperators.py.
The addon doesn't have a file named sun_positionNEWoperators.py.

All PY files should be in a single directory named sun_position. In your case, make sure there is a directory called:
E:\3D\BLENDER\2.65\scripts\addons\sun_position
Inside of that directory the file names are:
init.py
map.py
north.py
operators.py
properties.py
sun_calc.py
ui_sun.py
WordMap.jpg
WordMap.png
WorldMapHR.jpg
WorldMapLLR.jpg
WorldMapLR.jpg

If any files exist outside this directory as in your case sun_positionNEWoperators.py,
you are going to have problems since Blender now sees two different files trying to
load operators named the same.

Hope this helps

%%%Tom,

I think you must be using an experimental build. I downloaded one of the latest dynatopo builds and reproduced your error.
In fact, the error happens for every addon script I tried. I can't reproduce this with the Dec 20th offical 265a build so I can't
really say what I can do at this point. If the Blender API was changed again, I haven't yet found what that change is.

In the meantime, I found a minor bug regarding registering a module (SunPos_OT_Map) and have fixed that with
the new attachment which is now 2.03.

Thanks%%%

This version fixes the need of having to have a Properties panel open when making an animation.
So if the sun panel is enabled and an animation is started, keyframed sun position values and objects

Got rid of the High resolution world map and the png map to reduce the size of this addon
from 2.7mb to 460KB.

Added new usage mode which allows the binding of sun to an environment texture (i.e. sun + HDR texture).
This only works in Cycles. Once an environment texture is loaded and a sun object selected, the
'Sync Sun to Texture' button can be pressed which will make a lat/long image of the texture appear in the 3D View.
Simply move the cross hair to where the sun should be placed.
The same can be accomplished without the sync button by using the elevation and rotation sliders to move
the sun to the desired location and then press "Bind Texture to Sun"%%%

To see the world map it's simple (it work for me at least) :

in file map.py, line 1064, change "==" to "!="
new code is : "if Map.glImage.bindcode != 0:"

then line 1066, put - [x] after bindcode
new code is : bgl.glBindTexture(bgl.GL_TEXTURE_2D, Map.glImage.bindcode[0])

Tada ! That's all

All the options seems to work except perhaps Object Group, don't experimenting it enough
And settings are saved, I have close, reopen and made anim rendering to test.
