Description
This is a shader-based overhaul for rendering distant planets, aiming to closely replicate the crescent planet style seen in pre-2016 trailers and promotional images. Examples of what that looked like can be found in this Imgur gallery from Reddit user boomeranguy24. I have also incorporated my former "Less Intrusive Rings" mod. Rings will no longer look like they render on top of the sky. Instead, their visibility depends on a combination of the rings' brightness and your current planet's sky brightness.
Shelved once shader modding became impractical in 2019, this mod's now back through foolish(?) persistence. Shader modding is fairly tedious under the current circumstances. If a future update breaks the mod, I'll try my best to get it up and running again – but it may take a while.
All mod example images on planet surfaces feature DUD'S SKY - TERRA FIRMA 2 terrain. It's pretty sick.
Please enjoy!
