Have sun follow viewpoint using "O"

Is there any way you can have the sun follow the viewpoint as you move the model around using "O"? This would simplify things for everyone as it is now so gratifying to "spin" the model quickly and easily.

Yo, Don:

You can't do that, but you CAN mitigate the strength of sunlight in OpenGL.
If you turn the sun intensity down and the ambient intensity up, the contrasting light effect is reduced.

Likewise in rendering: a second sun object manually set to shine from a prescribed location can "fill" or neutralize strong shadows cast by the main sun.

PS: Send us your Google Earth coordinates so we can see your place in the Turks....
