Time and date setting change default.

paul_ae567ab9

When using sun-sky environment the date and time is always reset to a default of March and 6PM.  Where do I adjust that to a different default setting so I don't have to keep changing it?  I would like to set to my coordinates and a preferred date and time. ( I can change later as needed)

Also how do I set Render Ground to always default to OFF instead of ON?

Thanks

It will only save it in a scene file I think, not as a default.

Set Studio up with nothing in the scene and set everything to whatever defaults you want and lock all the settings you seldom change. Save it as _default-scene and then under Edit/Preferences/Startup tick Load File and choose the _default-scene file and accept. Open up the folder where the scene file is saved and set the flag to read only, in Windows, which stops the file from being accidentily overwritten. Now, every time you open Studio or select File/New this scene will be loaded with all your default settings.

May I ask for what this makes ? Made a check render in On and Off mode, but could´nt see a difference

Render Ground adds a shadow catcher plane at ground level. ON shows shadows OFF doesn't.
