Daytime stars



Asked: 2000.11.07
Name: Hotep
Question Title: Daytime stars
Category: Landscape
Question: In a previous question you replied about the reason as to why the stars showed in the daytime by saying:

"I accidentally copy/pasted wrong values in one day, so the stars come back out in mid-day.

It's been fixed, and you won't see the daylight stars next prop."

Although it might have been a mistake alot of people kinda like it when the daytime kinda shifts between a day and nighttime sky. If you have seen the movie "Pitch Black" that is what it reminds me of =^D.
Anyway the question is this, instead of taking that "accident" out completely would you consider taking a poll or something on how many people actually like the effect?

It is REALLY beautiful!

Answer: It was a bug, and it's fixed.

If the storyline calls for a night sky during the daytime, the good news is that now I know how to do it. :-)
