Possible to add moon?

by Jaimi McEntire · in Torque Game Engine · 10/28/2004 (5:12 pm) · 2 replies

I'd like to put a moon or two in my skies, while the sun is still there. Is this possible? How would I go about doing this?

I did this with the FXSunlightFlares or whatever they are called nowadays..

I made two moon pictures with alpha png's, one of the pictures with smoothing and the other one more sharp as a overhead. Looked great until you got into an interior or stuff like that.

It could be visible inside the interior if you were really close to an edge, etc :)

I tried this, but the moon was very large and blocky, and I couldn't get it to scale down. Also it appeared in front of everything -- clouds, mountains, interiors, even the crossbow!

I also tried putting the moon on the skybox. This was good if you saw the moon head on, but at an angle it distorted way too much. :^(
