Atmospheric scattering during sunrise?
« on: February 22, 2013, 12:56:56 am »
Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen a sunrise in real life where i can see the sun about to come up on one side of the sky and a band of total darkness across the opposite side. I think there needs to be some accounting for atmospheric light scattering or some such as there's never quite this stark a contrast visible on the ground...

Yep that's a lack of secondary atmospheric scattering that normally has only a miniscule effect, except in cases like these. On the list of TODO things ...

Just curious... How many 11.5 inch pages is that list bulleted 12pt Times New Roman?  ;) :P ;D
