That's a good idea, it's a bit of an experiment with the style currently. I think I could achieve that with a geometry shader.

I'm really liking how the sun looks when it pokes out from behind the clouds, it's very dramatic. I have to make sure these don't cause any lag though! #indiedev #indiegame

A screenshot of PlanetSmith. It features green hills bathed in cloud shadow. The sun pokes out from behind the clouds, dramatically.

Finally putting clouds in the game, what do you think? #indiedev #indiegame
