Constant daylight at night?

by Jonathon Stevens · in Torque Game Engine · 04/14/2006 (11:14 am) · 1 replies

Ok. So. I want to create the 'matrix sky' effect. Basically, the sun still rises and sets as normal, however, the sky itself has been so.. as the great Morpheus would say, "scorched" that no light actually ever hits the ground. It's constantly dark. I want to look up and see the sun TRYING to get throught he clouds, however looking anywhere else will be as if it's night time. Thoughts?

    Set the skybox images as appropriate to get the sky to look like you want it to (cloudy, etc...), then set the ambient light value lower to make things dark. You can also use an fxSunlight object to look like a sun, yet have the sun's actual light values very low to keep it dark.

    Or something like that.
