The Moon

Recommended Posts

Hi!
Sorry for, maybe, being picky, but the Moon in the new sky looks odd, like a body floating in the Earth's atmosphere. Because we see the Moon's shadowed surface.

In reality the Moon always blends with (or "fades" into) the sky color. Sometimes maybe a bit brighter, but not darker.
The most straigntforward way to achive this effect is to make the shadowed part of the image transparent.

In case if the Moon in the game is an actual dynamic 3D object, then using the "screen" blending mode atop of the sky background will help:

First I though my position was discovered and someone is shining with a softbox on me 🙂
