Aurorae - rererevisited

Post #1by buggs_moran » 12.12.2005, 04:32

Okay, so I think the aurora are at a point where I can issue a beta for people to critique... They have issues, very 2 dimensional, disappear at times, end abruptly, show up regardless of time ,date and season, etc, etc. I tried to get some folding and 3 dimensionality, but the textures didn't look nice, poor blending and so on. The altitudes are pretty close, green aurora start at around 80km and can go a few hundred km high. There is a purple lower aurora and red fade above. I guess these would be an example of a VERY active night. Just unzip the zip file and put the files in your extras directory. It "should" work... :wink: http://www.clanmoran.net/temp/aurora.zip
