How to make Sunlight?
Hey I would just like to know how to make sunlight, or at least the illusion of it, in GZDB. I know it probably is done via dynamic lights, but which ones do I use to create sunlight?
Re: How to make Sunlight?
If you don't need to light models, then sector-based lighting is probably easier. A dynamic light-based sun requires an extremely bright spotlight with extreme angles high up in the map, so you need a giant room above the scenery. Not really feasable if you ask me. If models are involved, you might want to take a lok at the SunSim shader (there's a thread here on the forum).
