Check out this cool real shot of a docking with a space station:

Wonder what's causing that greenish tint to the atmosphere light and chemical pollution or was the photo taken with a filter


Enjoy the Choice

I suspect filter (or just after local sundown and atmospheric scattering), but it does give it a nice alien quality.

If you check out similar shots of earth in VS, you'll see a similar effect - it turns out reyleigh scattering does that in the upper atmosphere. Although our shaders produce a more yellowish tone, automatic white balance will probably shift it towards the greenish side due to the intense yellowishness of city lights.

It was really tough, back when I made the shaders, to tell whitebalanced pictures from natural ones. I had to do a lot of guessing and calibration, but I trust our shaders now

I just hope that it inspires a content creator more skilled than me... It seems lots of things that direction need doing.

Well, my to-do in eye-candy-land includes actual extruding aurorae, lightning and better detail textures. Feel free to contribute (even in terms of food-for-thought) to those
