Terrain Solar Radiation
Terrain/Texturing
The node computes the amount of sunlight a terrain receives based on its geometry and geographical parameters. This can be used for simulating climate-driven phenomena, vegetation growth, and terrain shading patterns. it calculates solar exposure by simulating the sun's path across the sky for a specific day of the year, latitude, and terrain orientation.
Input Parameters

- Height Image Gray
- PhysicalSize Float
- PhysicalHeight Float
- DayOfTheYear Uint
- Orientation Float
- Latitude Float
Output Parameters
