I think soft and hard shadows, but maybe you can proposed better algorithm > 4 - I couldn't find yet in the code, but I think the answer must be > easy enough: Can I suppose that the planets are spheroids? (I believe > that the answer is "yes", because of the other referred idea) Yes, all our solar system bodies now spheroids -- With best regards, Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Stellarium-pubdevel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/stellarium-pubdevel
