Common atmosphere settings used by 3D Tiles and models for rendering sky atmosphere, ground atmosphere, and fog.
This class is not to be confused with SkyAtmosphere
, which is responsible for rendering the sky.
While the atmosphere settings affect the color of fog, see Fog
to control how fog is rendered.
Examples:
// Turn on dynamic atmosphere lighting using the sun direction
scene.atmosphere.dynamicLighting = Cesium.DynamicAtmosphereLightingType.SUNLIGHT;
// Turn on dynamic lighting using whatever light source is in the scene
scene.light = new Cesium.DirectionalLight({
direction: new Cesium.Cartesian3(1, 0, 0)
});
scene.atmosphere.dynamicLighting = Cesium.DynamicAtmosphereLightingType.SCENE_LIGHT;
// Adjust the color of the atmosphere effects.
scene.atmosphere.hueShift = 0.4; // Cycle 40% around the color wheel
scene.atmosphere.brightnessShift = 0.25; // Increase the brightness
scene.atmosphere.saturationShift = -0.1; // Desaturate the colors

Members
The brightness shift to apply to the atmosphere. Defaults to 0.0 (no shift).
A brightness shift of -1.0 is complete darkness, which will let space show through.
-
Default Value:
0.0
dynamicLighting : DynamicAtmosphereLightingType
When not DynamicAtmosphereLightingType.NONE, the selected light source will
be used for dynamically lighting all atmosphere-related rendering effects.
-
Default Value:
DynamicAtmosphereLightingType.NONE
The hue shift to apply to the atmosphere. Defaults to 0.0 (no shift).
A hue shift of 1.0 indicates a complete rotation of the hues available.
-
Default Value:
0.0
The intensity of the light that is used for computing the ground atmosphere color.
-
Default Value:
10.0
The anisotropy of the medium to consider for Mie scattering.
Valid values are between -1.0 and 1.0.
-
Default Value:
0.9
mieCoefficient : Cartesian3
The Mie scattering coefficient used in the atmospheric scattering equations for the ground atmosphere.
-
Default Value:
Cartesian3(21e-6, 21e-6, 21e-6)
The Mie scale height used in the atmospheric scattering equations for the ground atmosphere, in meters.
-
Default Value:
3200.0
rayleighCoefficient : Cartesian3
The Rayleigh scattering coefficient used in the atmospheric scattering equations for the ground atmosphere.
-
Default Value:
Cartesian3(5.5e-6, 13.0e-6, 28.4e-6)
The Rayleigh scale height used in the atmospheric scattering equations for the ground atmosphere, in meters.
-
Default Value:
10000.0
The saturation shift to apply to the atmosphere. Defaults to 0.0 (no shift).
A saturation shift of -1.0 is monochrome.
-
Default Value:
0.0
