New Sky Texture

Thank you for this!
Is this just a personal project? Is there any intention to incorporate this into some official blender branch and in some future within official master?

Yes the goal is to make it for Blender 2.90.
You can already try it here
Note, builds update at midnight Canada time.

Added Limb Darkening for Sun disc!!
The effect is exaggerated here, but if you zoom close to the sun disc you would actually see it!

Hi, very nice project.
I would like to build it on my system, is the branch up to date with the master of Blender Foundation?

Cheers, mib

Hey, no need to build :slight_smile:, it’s here , it updates every day at midnight Canada time

Yeah but I am on Linux.
I have a Windows disk, I can test there.

Thanks, mib

Hi.
I think this is the repository:

Edit:
I think I have successfully built like this:
Enter the official blender git folder and do:
git remote add blender https://github.com/macio97/blender.git

git checkout -b new-sky-texture

git pull blender new-sky-texture

Now compile/build as usual.
In the second step “-b” option is only necessary the first time. Then you can just use “git checkout new-sky-texture”

EDIT: Works like a charm @nacioss and @YAFU

I’ve never done linux builds before so unsure how well they will work, but if anyone wants to have a go at it:

Do a short test and all seams fine on Opensuse Tumbleweed.

Cheers, mib

Added ground! This simply takes the horizon pixels and fade them down.

Wow, this thread is awesome for new surprises. Not sure what will come next. Inferior mirage, mock mirage, green flashes? LOL. Seriously just kidding, this work is beautiful.
