I'm a noobie with Maya and have a low poly model which I'll need to render out several still images for illustration purposes. I'm using Maya 2018 with the legacy settings for Mental Ray. Under MR's Indirect Lighting tab I created both the default mr physical sun and sky and an ibl.
The attached screenshot shows my MR settings under the Indirect Lighting tab. What I'd like to do is adjust the time of day regarding the sun's position and the shadows cast relative to its point in the sky. Are these settings found under the sunDirection in the attributes editor? Also being able to effect the color of the sky maybe going for a sunrise or sunset type of sky and would this be done under the ibl attributes?
The jpg shows a basic 320 x 240 with the default ibl and physical sun sky loaded.
