use render pipeline for create universe

[ryzenX]

Hello i have question for render pipeline
In default, render pipeline create "atmosphere" of planete (render pipeline generate skybox sphere)

I want use render pipeline for have 1 real 3D sun and 2 planet. But i have 2 questions :

1. Can i remove you fake sun and create à real 3D sun (i draw sphere in panda3d with sun texture)
2. Can i change size of your default skybox ? and can i add other skybox (for other planet)

thanks for advance for your help.
I don't know the limits of render pipeline, I don't know if what I would like to do is possible.

when i go out render pipeline skybox my planet disappears

[tobspr]

1. Sure, you could add a sphere and make it emissive (Have a look at the shading model demo)
2. The render pipeline does not use a skybox, it uses precomputed atmospheric scattering. Right now only 1 planet is supported.

thank you for your answer.
I tried with your example but I have the same result

my code

Roaming Ralph Sample (modified)

This is the default roaming ralph sample, with the render pipeline.
Using the render pipeline is only the matter of a few lines, which have
been explicitely marked.

NOTICE: Since this is a straight copy of the standard roaming ralph sample,
        this attempts to keep as close to the original code to make it easier
        to see where to load the render pipeline.

        If you find a bug/suggestion in this code, then you should report
        that to the sample included in Panda3D, and not this code.

        (and yeah, this code could surely be written in a much nicer way)

do you think that in the future render pipeline can support several planets?

[tobspr]

It would be nice if you could just post your changed code, so I can see what you changed.

do you think that in the future render pipeline can support several planets?

I would say its unlikely, at least I do not have it planned. If anybody makes a pr, I would of course accept that

[ryzenX]

I'm sorry, I got the wrong code.
