I've got a number of ideas to try, but I thought I'd get some ideas from all of you 'cause I know there are probably a million ways to do this.

So before I get too far into it, how do you all go about creating a sky in an outdoor scene where the camera is going to view every angle?

Any tips or tricks?

Heres the way i do it...

I make a sphere add a lambert.

under incandescence i click the checkerd box and go to ramp.

then i go to the ramp and change the colors and to this..

and make sure u have the type U Ramp

PS. you can also mess around with the HSV color noise.

oh, and when u add more lights make sure u got to go to windows and relationship editors and go to light linking and make it so theres no lights hitting the sphere.

let me know if this helps user added image
