Title: Rotate Planet Atmosphere.
Post by: scrambled2 on December 12, 2012, 08:21:50 PM
Quick question. I am doing a space POV on a planet I made and the whole planet can be seen. I can get the planet to rotate with its textures properly, but how can I get the atmosphere to rotate
with it? When I try it now, the planet just rotates and the atmosphere stays in the same place when I rotate under the "planet" settings. Thanks in advance.

Feed your cloud fractal through a Transform shader. That way you can rotate the atmosphere along with the planet. You may also rotate different cloud layers at different speeds for a nice effect. I've made a low quality test render here:
