Lesson 6: Adjusting the Sky

Once you have added a sky preset you can adjust the appearance of the sky. You can determine what type of clouds are included in the scene. You can also add perspective to the scene by adjusting the amount of Haze in the scene.

To modify the clouds:

1. On the Sky & Fog palette, click the triangle beneath the Sky Memory Dots. This displays the Sky & Fog options menu.
2. From the menu that appears, click Cumulus Clouds to deselect it.

To adjust the sky:

1. Move the pointer over the thumbnails on the Sky & Fog palette to locate the Haze thumbnail. Note that the names of the palettes appear in the bottom left of the Bryce window.
2. Click the Haze thumbnail. The number 1 appears at the bottom left corner of the Bryce window; this is the Haze value.
3. Click the Haze thumbnail, drag to the right to increase the Haze value to 17.
4. Render your scene again.
   
   Note that the increased haze value has separated the two mountains, appearing to push the second terrain farther back in the distance.
