Hello guys, my name is Job

I am currently doing a light study for a project in San Diego using the sun and sky Hdri but I cant seem to place my object in the right location. is there a way to see a legend/compass and to accurately place something in the right direction?

I've tested this in KeyShot 7 and recognized that rotation of 0° of the environment and of the HDRI fits to north direction.
You can test it with a simple scene. Just add a thin and large cylinder in the center, position the camera on top using standard orientation "top". Then choose a midsummer day in sun'n'sky and start in a time when you see any shadow. This shadow should fall the left.

Perhaps you can post your test result?!

Hope that helps.


Cheers
