In this tutorial I demonstrate how to use the free and preinstalled Sun Position plugin in Blender. It allows us to perfectly match the sun position and shadow direction of the real world at any time and place. This works based on coordinates and date/time. It is a perfect tool for VFX and CGi integrations.
