(FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
 

I am working on adding star glows to planets. This will simulate atmosphere effects, as well as serve as a quick visual atmosphere reference. There is a lot of crossover between planet texture color and atmosphere type in SE5...

So, which do you prefer? 1 has a larger glow, 2 has a smaller glow.

glow 1

glow 2

Very Nice #1

I prefer the more subtle version.
Gets the point across with a minimum of overkill.

Very neat, Fyron.

I think #2 does the job: #1 sort of 'sends out light', while #2 does a better job at the 'atmosphere' effect, I'd say.

#2 seems a little dull and I understand what you mean by #1 sending out light. Still any improvement to what we have now would be a great benefit for the entire community. It will be interesting to see how the final product turns out.

I like the idea of planet glow, but I think it should be subtle.

It looks ok, but you should have used a more multi-cultural system to display the effects...

I don't want to figure out all the glow colors for the various atmospheres before I get the glow radii by size set... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I like glow 2 can't wait till you get the colors right, makes the planets look amazing.

Hmm, why isn't the ringed planet glowing? And why are those planets in the upper right so bright and shiny?
