WebScene - Sunlight

Luiz_AmadeuCoutinho — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 17:01:18 GMT

The WebScene by default open the sunlight in March and my geographic location March is more Darkly in WebScene but on real world no (Luanda , Angola-Africa).

I tried change values in Scene Light Layer (CE), but in WebScene the light is the same (March). The WebScene is seted for North Hemisphere?

If I change in WebScene the Month for March to July, the result is perfect for my example .

Then, is possible change for specific Month by default WebScene? For example WebScene is open in July?

Samples:

Printscreen 1 - March

Printscreen 2 - July

I have no idea, Luiz.

Andreas Ulmer‌, do you know if this is possible?

CEWebViewer always opens the viewer with the initial month set to March (and the time to 2pm). We need to pick month and time hardcoded, as there is no way to set these initial values from CityEngine during export.

Luiz, what would be your preferred way to set this / define this?

What do you mean by hardcoded? How may I change the hardcode for CEWebViewer's default initial month?

Hardcoded as in predefined in the application, with currently no way to change it.
