Simple Sky¶
Sky model that implements atmospheric scattering and lighting according to the Sam O’Neil GPU Gems article.
Example usage:
<map>
<options>
<sky driver = "simple"
hours = "0.0"
ambient = "0.05"
atmospheric_lighting = "true"
exposure = "3.0" />
Properties:
- atmospheric_lighting
Whether to apply the atmospheric scattering model to the scene under the Sky node. If you set this to false, you will get
basic Phong lighting instead.
- exposure
Exposure level to apply to the scattering model, which simulates the wash-out effect of viewing terrain through the atmosphere.
Common Properties:
- hours
Time of day; UTC hours [0..24]
- ambient
Minimum ambient lighting level [0..1] to apply to dark areas of the terrain
