planet shadow

Post by Nebiyu28 » Tue, 27. Apr 21, 04:36

Is there a way to get rid of the dark side of planets and moons, so the whole planet or moon has light and looks like the day side? Please help.

it depends on sun position, its not just backdrop.
You will need to move either sun or planet so its totally on front of it. Look into sector component files

You could also make the planet surface emit light on its own, this would remove the dark side.
