Day and Night Cycle

This code utilizes the cmds module from Maya to create a directional light representing the sun. It then animates the position and rotation of the light to simulate a day and night cycle.

Here's how the code works:

• The create_day_night_cycle() function creates a directional light named 'sunlight' to represent the sun.
• The initial position of the sun is set to (0, 50, 0) using the cmds.move() function.
• The function then enters a loop that iterates over 24 frames, representing the hours of the day.
• Inside the loop, the current time is set using cmds.currentTime(i), where i represents the current hour.
• The rotation of the sun_light is adjusted based on the current hour to simulate its movement throughout the day.
• The intensity of the sun_light is also adjusted based on the time of day, with a lower intensity during night-time hours and a higher intensity during daytime hours.
• The cmds.refresh() function is called to refresh the scene and update the changes made to the sunlight.

Executing the code will result in a day and night cycle, with the sun moving across the sky and the intensity of the light changing accordingly.
