	Reviews one of the most usable effects in Aurora - the Sun. You will learn in detail how to control the sun's position in the sky, how to simulate a halo around the sun disk. In addition, you will see how the Sun settings influence other Aurora effects.
	Sky Gradient closes the row of sky effects in Aurora. It isan effective but simple tool to create a great variety of skies.

	Easily learn how to position light beams, create colored lights and add multiple beams.
	Learn how to easily create light effects through objects that only partially block light (such as leaves in a tree)
	The last tutorial is devoted to the Aurora Variator. Almost every Aurora effect can be randomly varied to obtain surprisingly beautiful but perhaps unpredictable images. You will learn here how to apply the Variator to the whole scene or to one effect or to any parameter of any effect.

Problems with viewing tutorials

If you are using an older Internet Explorer browser, you may experience errors while purchasing online due to a bug in IE's SSL 3.0 security setting. Disabling the use of SSL 3.0 in the browser (and using SSL 2.0) usually resolves this issue. To disable SSL 3.0, select "Tools" then "Internet Options" from the menu. In the "Internet Options" screen, click on the "Advanced" tab. Under "Settings", scroll down to the "Security" option and remove the checkmark next to "Use SSL 3.0", but make sure there is a checkmark next to "Use SSL 2.0". Apply this setting and relaunch the browser.

The problem might also be in security level where Java plug-in is switched off.
Try to open the tutorial page with "Low" security level of your Internet Explorer. (Tools --> Internet Options... --> Security)

Or, visit the Microsoft web site to upgrade your Internet Explorer browser to the latest version.
