Tired of the default venus atmosphere,

[PlutonianEmpire]

I made some changes, according to my knowledge of light scattering in dense atmospheres as viewed from a planetary surface:

Venus as seen regularly:


Venus without clouds:


Venus haze and upper atmosphere:


Venus surface:


Venus sunset:


This is what I think is a more realistic rendition of the venusian atmosphere. Or could I be wrong about this?

[Dollan]

Just out of curiosity, what value do you have the haze set at?

Haze density is at 1.000. is that what you're asking?

[Dollan]

Yes, that's it.

Odd, when I tried setting the haze density, on one of my fictional worlds, to around 0.9-something, the entire planet was almost lost to visibility. Maybe I'll experiment some more....

I'm assuming that it probably depends on certain combinations of texture and hazecolor/densities, and/or your video drivers, when celestia renders it all.

[Dollan]

That's a probability. I've upgraded my video card slightly since then, though, so we'll see what happens....

Plutonian:

It looks very good. Could you please post the ssc entries for atmosphere and haze?

Thanks
