Hello there, I am new here although I registered long time ago, I never faced serious problems so didn't posts, I know that's very selfish of me, for that I am sorry ! Anyway, I use 3DS Max 2012 x64 with FinalRender Stage-1 R3.5 SE SP7A Studio, combined with FumeFX v3
I just moved from Mental Ray(MR) to FinalRender(FR) yesterday due to FumeFX not being very good with MR. The problem I am having right now is that, in MR I used Daylight Systems with mr Sky & mr Sun, which actually gave me a very realistic sun in the sky which I could easily change and modify with the time & locations settings, I know MR won't work with FR so I wanted to know is there such an option in FR that will give me a sun, if so can you give me a little guide, just a quick guide will do, I can figure out the rest, I just want to know how to get the sun the rest I will figure out. I tried making a sun manually with a sphere and all, but I never can get the scene to illuminate like a sun!
Thank You, a little help is really appreciated !

OK I solved it!
I don't know if there are other ways to do it or not, but this is how I achieved it:
Put a Daylight System in the scene
Rendering > Render Setup > finalRender:
turn on Global Illumination and Skylight
Rendering > Render Setup > Indirect Illumination:
Under Skylight: turn on Sky Type and select Physical Sky
Just below it is the settings for Physical Sky, turn on Sunlight and Show Sky In Env
Under Physical Sky Time, Color Adjust:
click on Compass button and select the Compass from the Daylight System
click on Sun button and select the Sun from the Daylight System
That should do it!
Thanks Anyway
