   First, thank for these tutorials ! But I have a problem : (Connexion fail, peer's certificate revoked) Happen every time... So I can't download your udk package.

   Its a pleasure being able to help out yodude.. :) I'll send you an alternative via PM. As far as the sun occlusion goes, I'll write the extension once I get a chance, I'm currently doing an art test for a company in LA. :) The addition the the tutorial will most likely be an extra chapter in the 'dynamic sun' tutorial.…
