Working directly with vectors can be a pain.
So here is a little function that will turn Pitch & Yaw into a 3D Vector.
Enjoy!

+ Code Snippet

FUNCTION SetSunAngle(Pitch,Yaw)
   xzLen# = cos(Pitch)
   X# = xzLen# * sin(-Yaw)
   Y# = sin(Pitch)
   Z# = -xzLen# * cos(Yaw)
   Print("   SunVec: " + str(X#)+" "+str(Y#)+" "+str(Z#))
   SetSunDirection(X#,Y#,Z#)
ENDFUNCTION

Attached is an example with Camera Pitch & Yaw around a Pivot included.
