Moon shadow and terminator are wrong?

Post #1by ANDREA » 15.08.2004, 10:04

Here are two images explaining my problem:

As you can see the Moon shadow (it's very big because it is part of my "Orrery.cel", where distances are very reduced and planets dimensions are smoothed a lot) is OK in the first image, when it is approaching the terminator, but in the second image it is cut at the terminator, while the still lighted texture is a bit further that line. 8O
I understand that the day/light division is not a fixed line, due to atmospheric extinction, but it should be the same for the shadow, or not? :wink:
Please inform me on the matter, I mean if it's a bug or not. :?
Thank you

Andrea :D

Added later: obviously the Ambient Light setting is 0.0, and my system is Athlon 2700+ with XP Home, 1 Gb ram, Nvidia GeForce 4600 Ti 128 Mb
