Okay, I want to make this clear now since I have a feeling if I don’t address this, more questions following the same pattern will appear.
Many times people get asked to be provided with a finish product. I completely understand that you, @NascarDriverBurak101 want to fix the issue you are having as fast as possible but a quote I learned, “Learning a person to fish will help more than to give that person a fish” is why I’ve not provided a finished product and just the atmosphere script.
I will not provide a earth model as the instructions that I will list again down below is made sure to be clear and simple to follow.
Begin by inserting the model, then following the instructions inside the model
Then to render atmospheres you start by Inserting a local script into StarterCharacterScripts
After that copy and paste it inside the newly added local script
Local Script - COPY & PASTE
local AtmosphereService = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").AtmosphereService) -- Gets module script responsible for AtmosphereService
local Atmosphere = AtmosphereService.NewAtmosphere(game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Earth"), 40, 400, .4, Color3.fromRGB(182, 194, 249), Color3.fromRGB(185, 255, 233)) -- Instances a new atmosphere
--[[ !WHEN CREATING ATMOSPHERES REMEMBER!
The first variable requires the parent for the atmosphere
The second variable explains the size of the atmosphere
The third variable explains the amount of 2D layers should represent the gradient sphere
The fourth sets the transparency of the atmosphere
The fifth variable explains the color and the last variable explains what color the transition from bright to dark there shall be.
]]
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
AtmosphereService.UpdateAtmosphere(Atmosphere) -- Crutial for generating the shadows
end)
If you have any further problems that you’d like to discuss I’m happy to walk you through, thanks.
For now the “interior” is not something you’re supposed to view, I’m hoping in the future I can work on the fact that it becomes extremely foggy when approaching the denser regions (or otherwise the centre) of the atmosphere but for now this is what happens.
If you want a object to be semi-visible but still foggy because of the atmosphere you scale the sphere to be close to the size of the atmosphere, not exactly although as that will in all cases fully obscure the atmosphere.
You can increase the transparency to be somewhere around .95 if you want a very see-through atmosphere which will in turn probably fix the issue you are mentioning.
Hope this answers your question and I wish you the best of luck in your game !
local AtmosphereService = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").AtmosphereService) -- Gets module script responsible for AtmosphereService
local Atmosphere = AtmosphereService.NewAtmosphere(game.Workspace.planets.Earth["Planet Pop up Text"].Atmosphere, 40, 400, .4, Color3.fromRGB(182, 194, 249), Color3.fromRGB(185, 255, 233)) -- Instances a new atmosphere
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
AtmosphereService.UpdateAtmosphere(Atmosphere) -- Crutial for generating the shadows
end)
Being on the ground, it won’t really look “ultra realistic” from my play testing experience. Only foggy in the day and dark fog in the night. But maybe if you change the variables to be just right the results might be just what you are looking for!
I might need a little bit more detail on what’s going wring, maybe try opening the “output” window and showing me if there’s any errors happening. In case there isn’t try pressing Shift+P to enter free camera and then looking inside of the planet you have (this is to see if the atmosphere you are instancing is smaller than the object you want to cover)!
Very strange, the last recommendations I can give to you is to double check if the parent you currently have is anchored since if not your atmosphere may just be falling into the void. In case that doesn’t work try inserting an anchored part and setting the parent of the atmosphere to be that part just to see if atmospheres can be inserted.
Otherwise I have no clue what your issue is with the given info I have. Hope this helps
edit: Check if the parent is one of these things “A model, an attachment or any base part”
Ok… Could you tell me where the script you are instancing and updating the atmosphere is parented? It’s recommended that you put a local script inside of either StarterGUI or StarterCharacterScripts.
Shockingly enough, the sky box is procedurally generated! The sun was a random texture I found in the toolbox and same for stars. The sun and the stars are BillboardGUI’s, the skybox I have is completely black.
In case you want to replicate the sun flare effect I’d recommend you to search in the toolbox for textures or “flare effect” models and manipulate how BillboardGUI’s can move parallel and along with the screen given the offset variables given to them.
Hope this answers your questions, thanks for commenting!
