in indigo + 3d max, to do a sun we used the direct light...but the daylight system of 3d max it work very well.....there are no differences!!!!
indigo sun and sky=direct light of3d max=daylight system of 3d max

I post in the gallery(interior o new image) one render with the sun is a daylight..the title of image is "filippo album new sun"
sorry for my language

In the max exporter we're using 3dsmax sun (or direct light as alternative) for indigo sunlight, because you can define your current daytime and position. I wish that we can solve some geometry issues soon to post it

Well.. for me dirtect light is the best way to get the sunlight exactly where i want it. I always hated that i can't manually place the sun in Maxwell. So.. sun system is nice and all, but i prefer direct light (more direct approach
)

What issues do you exactly have there?

I have problems with normal smoothing (specially with .obj). This morning radiance has adviced me that maybe i would separate in objects every smoothing group. In your exporter, normals are OK?
And of course I have a neverending fight with multiple UVs XD

PD: 3dsmax sun can be moved manually

I had some normal problems a while ago. I think i had also problems with obj format. No big issues at the moment though. It also depends on the model.
I mostly use xml format cause i've written the exporter for it myself and it seems to work better than 3ds or obj in some cases. It also has 3 uv channels.
