Title: We have a sun, could we have a moon and night sky?
Post by: Jpjapers on 2015-10-29, 12:11:56: Many times ive tried to set up moonlight scenes and struggled to get an accurate look.
Would it be possible to have a setting within corona sun that makes it act like the moon at night when paired with a night coronasky preset? It would save a fair amount of messing around.

Thanks
Jack

Haha, this paper is out for a while now. We can only hope the final sky model will include The Dark Side Of The Moon as well :D

Absolutely! I guess all the Kryptonite they hid will affect the moon's atmosphere considerably.

Kidding aside, I tend to think the moon's lighting will behave very similar to the sun's, it'll be only a lot dimmer. The moon's disc has almost the same visible size so even the shadows will match.
