Mie Rayleigh Settings Graphic Card Specific?

[arakish]

I tried finding an answer to this, but failed.

Are the Mie and Rayleigh settings specific for only a certain type of graphics card?

Wondering because the settings do not do anything when I code them. The older settings:

Code: Select all

Atmosphere {
        Height 80
        Lower [ 0.5 0.5 0.3 ]
        Upper [ 0.7 0.7 0.5 ]
        Sky [ 0.9 0.9 0.7 ]
        Sunset [ 0.5 0.5 0.3 ]
        CloudHeight 40
        CloudSpeed 80
#        CloudMap "filename"
#        CloudShadowDepth 1.0
        }

do work.

Thanks for the help.

You need firstly to have an OpenGL 2.0 capable card.
Then, make sure you have enabled the openGL 2.0 render path in Celestia. (You can toggle thru them using ctrl-V in Celestia.)

eg. Basic -> Multi-Texture -> OpenGL Vertex -> OpenGL2
