Hi Daniel,
Have a look at Phil's website (http://www.sundial.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/virtual-dials.htm). He has created fantastic sundial animations with Google Sketchup.

Orologi Solari can simulate the shadow on many type of dials.
In order to capture the frames I used the freeware Wink available at

You can see an example here

I also use steam engine methods for seeing how trees and building affect my
dials. I made a simple set of altitude triangles placed on azimuth lines, and
hold it to my eye, it being aligned true south. And My eye sees if the trees
affect the dial. This is the same method I used when I installed
2d animation: I put animation into the DeltaCAD macros I wrote, and you can
animate the shadow as it runs through the day for a given solar declination. I
also animate the declination curves by varying the latitude. Additionally, my
SciLAB programs animate the shadow. Yes, capturing is a problem
Hello Daniel,
I'm also using "steam age" techniques to check on sundials. My modest
device is a simple heliodon which can be set for various latitudes
and may be rotated to show shadows on a model. The light source for
the Sun may be positioned for the solstices and the equinox.
I understand
As I recall, so does Orologi Solari.
You'd still need some means of capturing the frames.

To model experimental sundials around 2000 I bought an 8" machinist's
rotary table (controllable to better than 1 minute of a degree). I set
up 3 light sources to mimic the solstices and the equinox, and build
scale models of my dials and observed the shadows as I turned the models
on the rota
Hi Daniel:
Shadows Pro has an easy to use shadow animation feature now.

Hello!
For a presentation I'm searching for an animated illustration of the pathway of
the shadow on a sundial (animated gif, mov, swf etc.) I've found only few
examples so far with a Google search and less are usable. Any ideas? Some years
ago I had done something like that with Povray but the
Hi all,
do you model your sundials before creating them in 3d- software like
sketchup, blender or so?
It helps if you want to know if anything around casts some shadow onto
your sundial.
I tried sketchup, but I am not yet an expert:
