Gobo slot for sun

[Deflaminis]

It would be cool if I could fake cloud shadows on the sun light. Currently I use a plane with an opacity texture but sometimes little issues crop up with it. Would also be cool if it fades on the edges of the photon emission cylinder for the light.

Crazy talk?

Hm, but the plane with the clouds is normally not perpendicular to the sun direction (as would happen with a regular direct or spot light), but to the ground?

Best regards,

Yeah you're right. I don't expect a renderer to have volumetrics (more of a vfx thing), but I took a shot. There's more important things anyways.
