Does anyone know if it is possible to produce multiple suns in Vue 4? For example, a landscape of a planet orbiting a binary.

Sure. Just experiment with lens flare to create the visibility of your light sources.

Yes ... select your sun and duplicate it ... No ??

Thanks for the help. Now just need to work on it to get the desired effect.

For multiple suns I would use volumetric spotlights. Make them all shadowless, except the sun.

Guitta,
By 'volumetric' you mean a volume atmosphere, right? The results look great.

Charles :)

No, I mean a volumetric light (spot or sun)

Volumetric light can also be in a NON volumetric atmosphere :-)

The reason I asked was because the image above doesn't show the volume option turned on. - Charles

Hun, I know you're tired from your long trip, but that the lens flare. ;)

OK, I understand. Lens flare. That's what I meaned. You also can make it volumetric then :-)
