Getting the Sun to Appear Awesome!

[iontom]

We should figure out a way to make the sun look awesome, because the player will spend so much time looking at it.

Something like this from Unity

Or like the sun in 100,000 stars.. Has Bloom, animated corona, pulsating textures

That unity prefab sun is amazing. I suppose solar weather could even be a gameplay element.

Added a bit of glowing personality to the sun, but I hardly consider this to be closed. Unassigning myself for the time being as I work on other things.

That's awesome! Can't wait to see it! I was looking into animated textures
earlier, would be cool to just create perlin noise though
