Sky settings

[fletcher77]

I have been changing the settings in the coagulation sky shader in hopes of getting a late after noon lighting effect. I don't know if it posible to do this. I don't know what radiosity settings to try. And I don't understand how to get the lens flare to move position in the sky properly or what settings control its intensity. I also want objects in my environment to cast shadows. My thinking was that they were not because the lens flare was not in the right position. Another thought was that the ground material that the shadow would be cast on was reflecting the light improperly but I don't have a clue. (I also wish that the words sky and fog would work in the search)

To change the position of the flare you can change the direction of the lights in your sky tag.
For a good late afternoon radiosity color i'd use something orange, you can change the color in the sky tag as well.
You could try higher lightmap settings to see if your shadows are casted, checkerboard or direct-only don't produce shadows.

Dose the position of the lens flare directly affect how the shadows will be cast?

Yes

We were given no lens flares. The sun's direction is a part of the sky tag, though.

Ascension has a lens flare.

Ascension has a lens flare.

Thats the one I am going to use I guess now I just have to wait a day for it to render the light. and I did change the position of the lens flare and it works. I just wish we had sky tags. It would make this a lot easier

Ascension has a lens flare.

And where is this non-existant lens flare you are speaking of?

I just wish we had sky tags.

We do, just look. We don't have all of the sky tags, though.

[Vicky]

We have sky-tags, you edited one urself guess it's a type-O.
@et_cg: do a search for *.lens_flare

A lens flare in Halo 2 is the simulation of a camera lens looking toward the sun, or bright sources of light.

If you look at the picture, and the post I replied to, you would note that there is absolutely no lens flare associated with the Ascension sky tag. Please note what you say, and respond accordingly.

EDIT: I'm responding to your edit, by the way... Yes, the "ascension lens flare was included," I'm sorry about that. But in accordance to being related to the tag itself, or in the final build of the game, I don't recall seeing a lens flare. Ascension is very cloudly.
