Sunlight is a Data Map that gives you the sunlight integral (sun light/shadow map) of any given period (up to 365 days). It can be used to drive snow melt, vegetation growth, and more. This node produces realistic results for any latitude in the world, so you can make it specific to any region your project relies on.
Properties
| Sunlight | |
| North | Specifies the direction considered as 'north' for sunlight calculations. Adjusting this affects the orientation of shadows and lighting in the terrain. |
| Year | Sets the year for solar position calculations. This can influence the sun's path and seasonal lighting effects on the terrain. |
| Latitude | Defines the latitude of the terrain location. Changing the latitude alters the angle and intensity of sunlight, simulating different geographic regions. |
