Night Texture in Eclipse Bug
Posted: 08.03.2020, 04:48
While testing some functionality for short-period exomoons around hot planets, I noticed the following problem:
In situations where a body with a night-texture has an eclipse-shadow on it, the night-texture is not rendered in the eclipse, creating rather odd visual effects. After the eclipse has progressed a certain amount, the night-texture on the opposite hemisphere of the body then vanishes.

- Lack of night-texture in eclipsed area.
- Now the night-texture disappears on part of the anti-star hemisphere.
