Yes, that was my analysis as well. My point is - the skydome or terrain shader code can't know a priori. But all our weather systems have the relevant information readily available - all we need to do is expose a property which tells the distance fading code how much sunlight is available at a given altitude (below a layer, mountains should fade to dark, above to white for instance). * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
