Star not showing through atmosphere
Posted: 24.02.2008, 01:22
I created a planet almost identical to Earth in the "EPS Cet" system.
(Note that this is a binary system -- this may be relevant)
When the observer is below the top of the atmosphere (<60km altitude) the star disappears. (It's still there and can be marked with ctrl-P, but there's no visible sign of the star from within the atmosphere (although atmospheric effects like sunrise/sunset glows are showing I think.
If the observer position is above the atmosphere height (> 60km) the star suddenly re-appears.
Here's the atmosphere code:
Has anyone noticed any similar behaviour ?
My config: 1.5.0final, Win-XP, ATI shared graphics, Open-GL 1.x
[EDIT: Also happens in 1.5.0pre5,4,3,1 and 1.4.1]
Haven't bothered to check 1.5.0pre6, but I think it's safe to assume it happens in that one as well
]
I can only assume that it has something to do with it being a binary system, or something with my machine (else someone would have reported it by now I would have thought)
