Configuring AtmosphericScattering

Atmospheric scattering creates a sky and distant haze that resemble a real atmosphere.

Sky and sun colors set the palette. Sun direction and intensity position and brighten the sun. Rayleigh, Mie, clouds, and density shape the atmosphere. Resolution controls quality.

The Atmospheric Scattering controls build the sky and distant haze.

  • Sky and sun colors: The colors of the atmosphere and sunlight.
  • Sun direction and intensity: Where the sun is and how bright it is.
  • Rayleigh and Mie settings: The blue sky and warm haze around the sun.
  • Clouds and density: Cloud coverage and atmospheric thickness.
  • Resolution: The quality of the atmosphere calculation.
