Atmopshere/sky for other planets?

Postby syndaryl » Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:00 pm

Where or what should I look at for setting up atmosphere and sun/sky for (for example) a scene rendered on Mars or Venus?

Obviously the air pressure is radically different on both, turbidity on Venus is crazy high and Mars can be clear or incredibly dusty, but some of the biggest differences are in raw atmospheric composition, and distance from the sun.

What properties need adjusting to do a Suzette The Test Monkey Goes To Mars render, and where do I go to find out more about them?

Hi,

The sky model is actually an empirical match of some real terrestrial sky conditions so it will prove impossible or very difficult to use for other planets.

Well poot. Sky domes or composited backdrops and distant lights might be the way to go then...

you can try by playing with the color piker from sky and sun in light group.

Oh, that's an idea. I didn't realize you could do that! I'll have to see what I can put together then...
