Saving Sky & Fog Settings

The Memory Dots in the Sky & Fog Palette let you store your favorite Sky & Fog settings. Using these dots you can safely explore many Sky & Fog configurations without losing your favorite settings along the way. Memory Dots appear along the right side of the palette.

The Memory Dots in the Sky & Fog Palette mirror those inside the Sky Lab.

To save Sky & Fog settings in the Sky & Fog Palette, click on an empty dot (empty dots are gray). All the current Sky & Fog Palette and Sky Lab settings (except for IBL settings) are stored in the selected dot.

The dots let you store up to seven different sky settings.

The uppermost dot, slightly separated from the rest, is a quick way to return to the default Bryce sky.

There is no way to clear this dot. It will always contain the default Sky settings.

Memory Dots are saved with the scene, but not between sessions, so you may want to save your favorite skies as presets before ending a Bryce session.

When you click on a full dot to activate it, the saved setting becomes the current Sky. When you no longer need a saved sky setting, you can delete it by clearing the dot it is saved to.

• To save a sky setting to a Memory Dots, click an empty dot.
• Empty dots appear gray -
• Full dots appear green (blue in Bryce 5/5.5, teal in Bryce 3/4) -
• To return to the default sky, click the top Memory Dot. The sky returns to the default, regardless of how many changes you've made.
• To switch between saved skies, click a full (green) dot.
  
  Active dots appear green with a white dot in the middle -
• To clear a full dot, Opt/Alt+click a full dot. The dot turns gray and a new sky setting can be saved to it.

Please note that if you select a saved sky, then use the Sky Presets Library to change the sky, the Memory Dot you clicked to load the previous sky will still be active even though a different sky has been loaded.
