Planetshine oddity

Post #1by PlutonianEmpire » 30.06.2012, 05:34

Ok, I noticed an oddity with planetshine. For some reason, in the triple star system I posted about in the screenies thread, certain objects have planetshine reflected onto them, even though they're in the complete shadow of the parent planet. I looked around, and realized, those certain objects were getting planetshine as if they were receiving light from the other system on the other side of the star system.

Here's a .zip containing the STC's and SSC's. I used the completed ISS model from the Motherlode. I checked a couple of the minor moons elsewhere in both these systems, but didn't see anything. (No textures.)

Sounds like a similar thing I noticed when I make a system with a binary planet (two planets orbiting a reference point that orbits a star). When one of the two planets passes between its star and the other planet, no shadow is put on the other planet. :?
