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.
