New mountain-scale shadow system in my engine. It is a planet-wide horizon visibility bake: every texel on the surface knows how much of the sky is open above it, and that feeds straight into the aerial perspective and sun shading. #indiedev #gamedev #computergraphics #procedural #terrain #rendering
