Adrian,
Review this thread on XSI Base. It discusses just this topic.

I included a method which I prefer, but there are some other very innovative approaches to the problem.

Folks,

How does one control the softness of the Terminator on a sphere or planet? For those who dont know the term, the terminator is the boundary between light and dark - or day and night. In other packages, there's a setting to control how soft or sharp this terminator is on an object - I dont see anything similar in XSI.. Am I missing something?
