Finally implemented proper day/night cycle inside my custom OpenGL render.

Now the engine can vary sun position according to hour and day of the year, and also according to the latitude, with a good approximation.

Additional experiments with volumetric clouds, solved some glitches and managed to mix the clouds with the scene, using the depth of the scene to avoid to show clouds occluded by scene objects (like the terrain). For now I just used a simple 3D perlin noise for the clouds, in the future I plan to t…

Just a small demo of triplanar texture mapping + normal mapping in action over a procedurally generated surface.

To better show the effect, in this simple demo I used a brick texture over a very smooth terrain (generated using small values of "persistence").
