It would be nice to have the Day / Night wave so we can see according to the time where it is dark
Can we point-click on the map to get the location?
Good job as usual!!!

Yes it's interactive.

Night day is probably possible, but maybe beyond my abilities!

I think that curve doesn't change its shape. It just moves on the x axis according to
Earth's spins with a shift according to its rotation around the sun.

Hmmm, you can mask glyphs in lscript, that might be the way to do it, will do some tests!

Definitely like the banner without the "double-k", but am really fond of the actual layouts in the one with the double-k banner.

Might want to consider removing the "masthead" info from the "Physical Sky" banner (e.g. have one version for the General dialog with "masthead" info, and another for the Physical Sky dialog that omits it). That way you have the consistency of all "secondary" dialogs having banners without masthead info, which eases visual identification at a glance. Otherwise the Physical Sky dialog's banner makes it resemble the General settings dialog a bit too much at a quick glance.

Just a thought.

This is why I did the original Physical Sky one different, might revisit that one and see what it looks like.

Way cool!

Please please let us use this skin design.

Yep how long until we get our hands on a new beta with the fantastic layout by Matt?

Soon.

Nice! I really like it when there is an interaction between the customers and the product!

Jure,

It would be fine with Gregorz that I use the Physic Sky Sun LScript to do an equivalent Python version for Vue?

Or maybe you can point me where you found the calculations if there is any published paper about it?

You mean the physical sky source?
Here is the paper: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~shirley/papers/sunsky/

Ah,

Thanks for that link Jure.

I was more interested on the formulas to calculate the position of a light given the date and time. I did a search two days ago but couldn't found a good example.

The idea is have a similar function on Vue with it's own sun, so it will be easier to match it with KRay Sun.

David

Mmm dballesg you go to do a script for this?
I like something similar to Frysun.
You have a object near the origin to handle the light position and inclination and autodetect the hour-minute match and place auto the light in her position 1km distance.
