Very nice work. I feel the atmospherical light bounce is way too strong on bodies that don't have atmospheres.
Also the lighting could have better default, with the sun intensity cranked up and the shadow side almost pitch black, as well as the universe darker (if we assume being blinded by the sun reflection.
I've done a few of these in my time, I've never had such as nice detail on the surfaces, it's very well done.
I would suggest also a default where the orbiting camera would in fact move (in all axises), at the moment it's pegged to the sun and perfectly aligned to the equator, which is not as realistic as the rendering quality!
Of course that would involve the programmer to have to render the sun too, as it would come in and out of the background.
- mentos 3y agoI’d second the point about atmospheres. Was most apparent to me on the moon but now I’m really curious to see Jupiter with 0 atmospherical lighting. Incredible work! The game developer in me now wants to see you slowly create a game around this. Really impressive how light weight this is.
- moribvndvs 3y agoThere are controls to increase/decrease the atmospheric density as well as sunlight and reflection intensity.
- sneela 3y agoThe sun intensity makes the planet look weirdly blurry to me. Is that how it normally is? Is that how it's supposed to be? Dropping the sun intensity to 0 made it look more crisp, which is the way I like it.
- swiftcoder 3y agoWithout HDR you very quickly oversaturate as th light intensity increases. Space rendering without HDR and tonemapping is pretty rough.
- rbanffy 3y ago> Also the lighting could have better default Space requires better dynamic range than human eyes can provide.
- Thrymr 3y agoThe angle of the lighting is also odd, from the upper right at a higher latitude than the sun would be for Earth (or Mars, for that matter). It's a bit strange to have the same artificial lighting for Venus without an atmosphere, too.
