I have been trying to think of a way to create the effect of day and night on an infinite plane?
I was thinking about doing the whole Apollo thing with a god riding the sun every morning but that would mean he would have to ride in circles and some portion of the plane would always be in darkness.
Then I thought about having the stars simultaneously wax and wane with intensity as the day goes on to create the illusion of day and night without the need for a sun. I like this idea the most so far, but I have not came up with a good idea of why they do this. Is it the cities of heaven turning on their torches? Or is it the spirits of ancestors breathing life into the plants? Or something else.
Does anyone have any ideas?
