Too bad the sun doesn't actually act as a sun. =/

You know, the new maps had all that lensflare data in the sun block...I can't help but wonder if there is some way to enable it. Of course, one problem with that is that the sun seems to 'snap' to prefixed positions when you try to adjust it coordinates...

There are some more conclusions to be drawn in the following image, but there is one thing that I find amazing in terragen (even though it might not impress some of you out there ) :

The fact that the circular (globe like) effect of the "ceiling" (the sky) is absolutely well rendered when used in the cubic environement that the skyBOX is...

You will notice in each of the connecting sides, that the clouds go on a funny angle, yet when you're in game, the result is perfect (as for circular rendering and seamless "attitude"). There are some more surprises, but I let you discover :

Akira nope, I don't think so. One lens got into the new patch, as well as the lens flare tags inside of Slapdash.mis (as well as in the Dynamix Map Pack.) I don't believe the code was finished before Dynamix was shut down.
