The Model
This shader is based on the Hosek-Wilkie sky model. It is an analytical model of the daytime sky that includes the latest improvement in this field of research. This model is able to properly sunsets and lighting in high turbidity environments - such as very moist environments.
The Parameters
Image Removed
| Parameters | Description |
|---|
Intensity | This drives the overall intensity of the sky. It is a direct multiplier of the sky radiance function.  Image Removed
Intensity 1.0 | Image Removed Intensity 1.5 | Image Removed Intensity 2.0 |
|
Turbidity | This parameter determines the overall aerosol content of the air. As an example, a moist day will have higher turbidity values than a dry day. Values range between 1 and 10. Image Removed Turbidity 1.0 | Image Removed Turbidity 4.0 | Image Removed Turbidity 10.0 |
|
Ground Color | Changing ground color affects the brightness of the whole sky-dome, especially in high turbidity settings. High albedo values can occur in winter scenes - snow reflectance is very bright so almost all incident radiation is reflected and backscattered towards the viewer. Image Removed Ground Color is white | Image Removed Ground Color is green | Image Removed Ground Color is blue |
|
Elevation | This the elevation of the sun. Image Removed Elevation 5 | Image Removed Elevation 20 | Image Removed Elevation 40 |
|
Azimuth | This is the azimuth of the sun. Image Removed Azimuth 90 | Image Removed Azimuth 180 | Image Removed Azimuth 270 |
|
Sky Tint | Image Removed Sky Tint is white | Image Removed Sky Tint is red |
|
Sun Tint | Image Removed Sun Tint is white | Image Removed Sun Tint is red |
|
Sun Size | The size of the sun in the sky, in degrees. The default value is the size of the sun as seen on earth. Image Removed Sun Size 0.51 | Image Removed Sun Size 1.51 | Image Removed Sun Size 3.51 |
|
Draw Sun Disk | This enables or disable the sun in the sky. Disabling the sun will disable the drawing of the sharp component of the shadows (the strongly directional shadow). |
