Hey, does anyone use this in the envlight node?

The environment lighting part works great when I control the Latitude / longitude / time of day and that's great, but there is no direct sunlight, is that by design or am I doing it wrong? would be great if it also had it

The sun is provided by a separate ‘sun’ light. Creating a ‘Sky Light’ from the tool bar will create both nodes and link them so that one controls the other.

Whoa, so easy, thank you!

I get stuck in my nodes and forget there's a shelf all too quickly!

Any word on improvements to the sky shader? I love Blender's Nishita shader. It's a huge step above Houdini's standard version. Unless I missed a feature they added recently, I'd love to give it a try in Houdini soon. And, of course, Renderman. I wonder if Renderman has a Nishita shader for their sky. I think they might have it.
