Sun Dial not rendering

Somehow I seem to have messed up my Sun Dial Set.  It loads but won't render.  I was fooling around with settings and environment maps.  Maybe I changed a setting but I can't figure it ouy.

    Ok, it's working now.  I didn't realize it had to be on sun-sky only.

    Um, it does not have to be on Sun-sky only.

     

    The only mode that will not render Sun-Sky is Scene Only.  So it must have been something else.

    The sun won't work in Dome when you have an HDR image inserted in the Environment node. Otherwise, the sun and dial will work, but remember that rotating the dome also changes the sun's direction. Set the rotation to 0 if you don't want to pull your hair out wondering why the sundial poins one way, and the sun is coming in another.

    Yeah, good points, Tobor. Didn't think of those.
