Sun light

I finally got around to building a basic sun light system. It's very similar to the area light system except that an orthographic projection is used to create the shadow maps. Again, as with area lights, soft shadows are created by multisampling the light in random positions. Increasing the size of the position offset leads to softer shadows, I didn't think this would be usefull but it actually allows for a nice slightly overcast day sort of effect ( although in these shots I've kept the radius small). All these images use a single sunlight and environment light.
