Solar system simulation using shaders

This project was my first introduction to shaders and I had quite some fun.

Of courses there are no light sources in the scene.
 

What the shaders simulate:

-> The planets rotating on their axis

-> diffuse lighting and specular highlights

I only used two monobehaviour scripts to do the following:

-> Get the sun's position in the shader script to calculate the sunlight's direction

-> Rotate the planets around the sun

I hope you find it fun and interesting! Feel free to download the project and tinker with it!
