cool new atmospheric effects

Post #1by phoenix » 19.08.2006, 23:38

hi all,

i was experimenting with the new atmosphere that will be added in the next release and came up with this little beautiful "accident"

download the small movie as xvid or mpeg

i call this an accident because it's mars filmed at a very low altitude and maximum FOV facing the sun ;)

greets

That vivid green color doesn't look very realistic to me. The video is nice, however.

of course it's nowhere near realism, just playing around with the params

It may be wrong, but it's very pretty :)
