Hey All
I've been trying to produce a render like this:
http://www.planetside.co.uk/gallery/v/tg2gallery/66-orbital.jpg.html
for a while, but cant figure out how, ive tryed placing the sun behind Planets, but instead the sun just dissapears and all the light is lost behind the planet
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Zionner

Increasing the background (under Objects) to a larger size will help this. Change this number (the radius) from
-2e+008
to
-2e+009
or
-2e+0010
to see what happens.
Or maybe I misunderstood you.
So this is Disney World. Can we live here?

which one? the one thats in the gallery? that can be made easier by having the second planet close to your first.

The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

Make the atmosphere for your 2nd planet (that is covering the sun) *really* big. You need something to catch the light from the sun so you get the halo/corona effect. In this case it's a large atmosphere.
