If I wanted to create a sparkly bright SUN in the sky... Would I have to use raycasting? I am hoping there is a far easier way.

Ps:
Make a sprite. Position it in the sky where you want the sun. Make it add blend. Stick a texture on it that fades from white in the center to black at the edges.

Hello Sun

While I am a fan of John Lennon I wasn't exactly asking about the tune! Thanks though!

It is a George Harrison tune.... :)

Paul is dead.

I saw a sun on a crash bandicoot game for ps2. It was a sprite. It had two unique properties:

The sun would shine over the top of all the objects in the scene as long as there was a direct line of vision between the camera and the sun

The suns rays (the sprite) would rotate in the direction you turned.

maybe check out "lense flair", I guess there's something in the code archives. Additionally you can use a linepick to determine if you have to hide/unhide the suns corona, depending on its visibility.

Here comes the sun
it's allright
