So, I have a skybox with a sun in it, and I wanted to move the sun to the skybox sun to keep it from looking half-assed. But I don't see any light coming from the sun. I'm not sure if there's any light coming from it at all. I'm using taylor's XT 10/28 build.

just stick an invisible sun behind the sun rendered into the skybox.

Uh? How would I go about doing that?

[Nuke]

create a new sun and use a blank image for a texture.

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

Sorry - Couldn't resist.

Skyboxes seem to block the light from suns

Then stop naming the skyboxes after Montgomery Burns!

Sorry I couldn't resist either!

It's an obscure reference to an episode of "The Simpsons", the one where Mr Burns gets shot. At the start of that episode, Mr C. Montgomery Burns blocks the light of the sun over Springfield.

"Hello Lamp, How's it glowing.
I come to watch your power flowing"

I'm surprised no-one got it?

the simpsons have been running since i was in grade school, how do you expect us to remember every episode to the point where we can quote them?

C'mon, "Who shot Mr Burns" was one of the most famous episodes, sort of like "Who shot JR" in Dallas, but then you're probably too young to remember that as well!
