Variables

Rainbows are automatically generated by trueSKY providing that a number of conditions are met.

Rainbows can be fully customised, from position to strength and colour of the rainbow.

Both Rain Strength and Rain Streaks must be greated than 0 for rainbows to be generated, while rain parameters can have an effect on rainbow visuals. Speed at which raindrops will fall, which adjusts any ‘flutter’ seen in the Rain Streaks can affect rainbow visuals. At sizes less than 1.0mm, trueSKY will use a Submillimetric Light Scattering Approximation to adjust the spectual output.

Variable

Definition

Value

Automatic Rainbow Position

Whether the rainbow follows the antisolar/antilunar point, or is manually set.

Bool

Elevation

If the automatic positioning is disabled, this sets the elevation of the rainbow.

0.0 to -90.0

Azimuth

If the automatic positioning is disabled, this sets the azimuth of the rainbow.

0.0 to 360.0

Intensity

Controls the overall brightness of the rainbow.

0.0 to 10.0

Depth Posit

The point at which the rainbow intersects the terrain (dependent on a forward/reverse depth).

0.0 to 1.0

Allow Occluded Rainbows

Whether trueSKY should generate rainbows regardless of light occlusion.

Bool

Allow Lunar Rainbows

Whether trueSKY should generate rainbows using the moon’s light.
