I was wondering if someone (more than one person preferably) could test and confirm my findings. If this works I want to update the post up on my blog, so I don't lead people down the wrong path.
I used your technique to obtain satisfactory results. Consider:
Route Center: 36.34 -117.47
Season: Azimuth/Angle (math)
Winter: 60.9/-0.891 (150 - 60.9 = 89.1 )
Spring: 89.4/-0.606 (150 - 89.4 = 60.6)
Summer: 120.1/-0.299 (150 - 120.1 = 29.9)
Autumn: 89.2/-0.608 (150 - 89.2 = 60.8)
I did a lot of testing of all seasons in all time periods. Most importantly, I wanted to confirm the sun and moon were in the proper part of the sky, and it was clear early on in the testing we have it right. No northeast setting suns and such.
On a related question, do you know how to turn distant terrain black at night instead of the default white? Dusk goes along swimmingly well with blackened mountains, as they would normally look. Then night arrives and the mountains all look like 2 feet of snow fell in an instant. In the real world, they would remain dark. I know it's some combination of fog and dome lighting...right?
