Sun in the Sky
Hey guys. I'm not sure what the name of the technique is called, but I'd like to place a sun in the sky of my world. Moreover, I would also (eventually) like to have it shimmer/reflect off of my world terrain and water. The sun technique and reflection I mean can be seen in some of the pictures below.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started with this?
Thanks for any advice/help!
The sparkly thing is called lens flare. Here is a tutorial on the Reference section of this site.
The reflection is just that, reflection. The water image looks like it is just reflecting the skybox, which has a big bright spot for the sun.

If you are looking for a way to procedurally generate the sky itself, here is a good thread. There is also a great section on Sky rendering in the Graphics forum FAQ.
