has anyone made a realistic sun? i want to make one of realistic size.
should i make a solid sphere with a nifty texture, put my light inside
and then double illuminate it? or should i make a hollow sphere and
fill it with the light and some emitting media? for the light i am
thinking of using a circular area light with both the orient and the
parallel features enabled. input anyone?
Go check my page : http://www3.sympatico.ca/patrick.joyal/gallery.html
I have a star that could look like you want.
(maybe not the right color, but it can be easily changed.)
If you like it, I could send you the source.
