Custom Sky

Custom Sky lets you choose your own colors for the sky; this way you can create some truly alien environments. When this mode is selected, the standard behavior of colors in the sky with respect to sun position is disabled.

To set custom sky colors:

1. Click the triangle icon next to the Sky Mode thumbnail and choose Custom Sky from the menu.
   
   
   
   The thumbnail changes to the Custom Sky control.
   
   
2. Click the Sky Color swatch and choose a color from the color picker.
   
   The Sky Color is the main sky color in this mode, regardless of sun position.
   
   
3. Click the Sun Glow Color swatch and choose a color from the color picker.
   
   This is the color of the halo around the sun.
4. Click the Horizon Color swatch and choose a color from the color picker.
   
   This color will in certain cases affect your scene below ground level if you have a haze setting of greater than zero. It will also impact the color of Stratus clouds near the horizon.
   
   In most cases, this will be the least obviously used color in your scene; unless you are making outer space scenes, in which case this could be very useful for you.
