Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 13, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 13, 2015 Gerry Mooney asked: If Tatooine has two suns, why doesn't everything have two shadows? To test this I set up a chor with two lights, each about 0.5° in width (similar to our own Sun) as seen from the center of the Chor, and about 1.5° apart (as suggested by images in Star Wars. PRJ: TatooineTest02.prj (Move the suns by rotating the nulls at the center of the Chor.) When the suns are low in the sky, 20° above the horizon and can cast long shadows, the two shadows are very close together but visibly distinct: When the two suns are high in the sky, just after local noon, the shadow difference is barely visible: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted May 13, 2015 Update: It occurs to me that I left Rabbit at his default size, 1 meter tall, which might be appropriate for one of the sand people. However, if we scale him up to Chewbacca size, 2 meters, the divergence of the two shadows becomes more prominent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
