Hello, I’m working on a scene right now which includes a planet in which I’m using the SkyAtmosphere to get a good looking atmosphere. I also have a Sky Sphere with a material that has an HDRI of the milky way so you can see stars and stuff. The problem is, the sun disk is behind this sky sphere and I can’t see the sun, which I’d like to be able to see. Is there any way to render the sun disk through/on the sky sphere, or add a sun disk to the material I have based off of the directional light? Some people in other forums said to scale up the sky sphere until the sun disk is visible, but no matter how large the sun disk is the sun disk is still behind it.
The SkyAtmosphere system exposes a bunch of inputs to the material graph, one of which is the SkyAtmosphereLightDiskLuminance node which you can add to your skydome material and it will show the sun disk.
