Sun

[coco2]

Unfortunately I can't search for sun in the forum because it is a 3 letter word, so I will make a post.

Does anyone know how to get the sun working with the Sun() function? I tried and whatever values I put in nothing shows. Is it supposed to make an object appear in the sky that looks like a sun?

You can search for 3 letter words by adding an asterisk, i.e. sun*. I did a search though and didn't find anything.

To make an educated guess, i think it just specifies the color and position of a sun-like light source. I'm not sure if that means it is a directional light source that emits parallel light rays as if from a distant sun or if it is a point light source. I would guess either type may be selected. It you wanted a light source to have a particular appearance you would probably create a sphere or a billboard with the desired appearance of your sun and link it somehow to a node or child node with the position of the sun. This is purely a guess as i have not used to OGRE engine at all.

The Sun() command is found in the Engine3D library.

The sun command affect CreateWater() nothing else.

As Demivec wrote, you have to do it the other way.

Take a look at "StaticGeometry.pb" in the PB's examples folder for reference.
