Caelum - Atmospheric Sim

Post by polylux »

Recently I've stumbled upon an add-on lib for OGRE called "caelum" (which is latin for sky if I remember correctly) that brilliantly renders clouds, day/night cycle, convincing lighting and scattering. Also the stars move throughout the night.
It's LGPL and I thought it'd be an enrichment for irrlicht's toolchain if we'd port it to our favorite engine :) Maybe fork it and call it irrCaelum.
Comments? Would it be worth the work (would YOU use it)?

Here's a not-so-recent vid that shows it in action:

Here's the project's home:

Cheers,
p.

or we could write one that does the same thing on our own and avoid the LGPL licence

i need such a system for my game engine i also have a very advanced atmospheric scatering shader that i would be willing to share.

The only thing is that my game can turn into a comersial project so the LGPL licence is a pain in the $%?&*(
