[Theme] Space Sunrise

[Andre "Osku" Schmidt]

Hello list and Happy 2010!

been following plymouth in the blogsphere for a while now, and when i
saw this easy tutorial http://brej.org/blog/?p=158 i could not resist to
scratch an itch...

a sunrise in space, coming behind a planet, indicating the boot progress
of your system... (a station/ship/logo in the shadow of the planet,
illuminated by the sun rays coming from the horizon, boot done. <those
scifi scanning objects in display>, lock on station/ship/logo, display
login entry... ok, ok, i'll stop;)

as "space sunrise" sounds likes a cool "part" of the boot "experience",
and there's much you can/could do with it, i tried to do it in user/dev
friendly way. like set the offset where the top of the planet is (rest
animation following that point) and end points (in progress-time) for
different parts of the sunrise (that part probably doesn't work, sorry,
i'm just a hobby coder;)

but what ever, feel free to dip, dub and del!
