Hi, I'm looking to get a more realistic sky in my simulation, including a sun or moon. It seems that the sdf <sky> </sky> tags trigger use of SkyX in Gazebo. If I wanted to use more of SkyX than what's in the sdf spec, would I need to write a Gazebo plugin, and where do I look for the hooks into the sky rendering within Gazebo?
Thanks!
The skyx code would be difficult to manipulate via a plugin. You'll have the most luck directly editing Gazebo. Start by forking Gazeob, and looking in gazebo/rendering/Scene.cc.
If you make improvements, please submit a pull-request. We'd love some help with skyx.
I see the code now, and I finally realized that the sun is always "on" while it's daytime. I never noticed it because it was always so high in the sky! I'd like to connect the skyX sun location to a light source (a modified sun model?) that tracks the sun direction (via getSunDirection()). Perhaps that could be done with a plugin?
