hi there,

i just had the idea that it could be cool to adjust the colors of the daylight system so one could create setups with different coloured sky, haze and sun...

what do you think??

cheers,

our daylight system uses a physically based model,
eg depending on location, date and time, the sky and sun position/direction will automatically be calculated to approximate real-world sky intensity and colours, if you change these, it won't be correct anymore.

i understand that... maybe you can add another sky-node somewhat similar to the current one, but with possibilities to change such parameters??

hi,

i was thinking about the same thing yesterday. i think the daylight system is pretty cool and fast, but adding parameters to change the color of the sun and the background would hugely improve it. i know that it wouldn't be physically correct any more, but sometimes i don't car about what's correct but just about what's looking good.

so i just wonder if there are plans to (like ello suggested) import a separate light node where the colors are adjustable? i would love to see that.

cheers,
fbb

It is not physically correct to have clear blue skies all over the earth permanently! :P
