Real-Time Sun

In contrast to the lighting defined in Shaper, the real-time sun available in Matter provides light that is calculated on a product in real-time. The real-time sun provides light similar to that projected by a sun type light source. The source is not visible. Its beams are infinite and parallel to one another. The source can be positioned in terms that are used to describe the real sun: angle above the horizon, position on a compass, etc.

Data related to the real-time sun is included in databases exported in KDR format.

The real-time sun can be animated using a channel animation.
