Research Paper

The Project:

The aim of this paper was to research and implement a dynamic day and night cycle for a binary star system with different star types for a livable planet. Researching the effects and possible sky models to use for implementation. To finally have a real-time simulation of the binary star system.

This paper was researched and implemented in 6 weeks.

The Hosek – Wilkie Model (Atmosphere/sky model) was implemented in unreal using c++ as well as a full blueprints version.
