Atmospheric Light Scattering

  • the automated moonlight and moon position code has been pushed and will be a part of the 2016.4.1 release.[1], this only works for those ALS shaders that Thorsten added /environment/moonlight ambient lighting support for. There is no automated full-scene lighting, and nothing visible under the default or Rembrandt renderers. But if you have ALS on, you should see realistic moon-phase based lighting for a lot of the scene.[2]
