I wonder how this relates to the Perez All-Weather and Preetham sky models. Not an expert about that but I managed to implement those in the past and it was quite a fun project!

Stunning - both the result and interactive walkthrough of how you got there.

Will store this next to my collection of Sebastian Lague favs. Thanks for sharing it with the world

Oh these are gorgeous. And I’m partial to the kind of things that are based on physics models as opposed to the techniques based on graphics hacks (stacked gradients etc.).

This is hugely relevant to my interests. In my spare time I've been building a planetarium/star map app (iOS / Vision Pro) and atmospheric scattering is something that has been on my todo list for awhile. This is definitely above and beyond what I'm going for atmosphere-wise but still amazing to see. Thanks to Maxime for this write up!

Great! Now add a liquid ocean and add scattering in that liquid. Stretch goals: absorption and reflections...

Love it, this is one of the best explainers of atmosphere rendering I've seen on the web

That's really great and quite conveniently timed for me I've been working on my own sky rendering over the last week or so of evenings[1], to end up as a Godot plugin and perhaps a writeup. It started as deep dissatisfaction with the results I could achieve with what was available. I'm still on the fence about the distance to go for realism vs whatever I find aesthetically pleasing.

This paper was the point I jumped in with An analytic model for full spectral sky-dome radiance

Can you tell I don't publish many youtube videos? Apparently "unlisted" didn't do what I wanted.

All good. It works now, and it looks great! I'd be interested in the plugin and write up. How can I get notified of updates?

I love how just a bit of math can create such beautiful visuals

Gem.

Flat earth version for comparison would be fun.
