Linking Clouds to the Camera

If you move the camera view during an animation, the clouds in your environment will appear to zoom by, creating a kind of time-lapsed effect. If you want the clouds to appear fixed as you move the camera, link the cloud in the sky to the camera view. This way, wherever the camera moves the clouds will follow so that they seem to remain stationary.

To link clouds to view:

1. If it's not already visible, display the Sky & Fog palette by clicking the text item on the menu bar.
   
   
2. Click the Sky Lab button. The Sky Lab dialog appears.
   
   
3. Click the Cloud Cover tab.
   
   
4. Click the Link Clouds to View button.
   
   

Refer to "Animating Skies" for more on animating skies.
