You still have to apply an image to the Env Sky's Floor and Cloud attributes. Also, in your scene, you should see a small texture manipulation object in the shape of a half-dome. Scale it up to encompass your entire scene.

Can you make it and post in the forum?

cos 5 isnt compatible to 4.5... and 4.5 is my version.

'Fraid I'm at work right now, and only have 5 available. It's pretty straight forward, though.

The old How To had it, but I'm yet to find the new one. There's nothing listed under the Tutorials section either for it.

Anderson, there are a lot of things you have to do to get the EnvSky to render properly. One thing is, it's not a texture that you apply to geometry. It has to do with camera settings. Sp that's why you're seeing those nasty colors and things when you render.

I'm looking for that tutorial. As soon as I find it, or something similar, I'll post a link for ya.

But for now what you can do to familiarize yourself with it, im Maya, hit the F1 key to bring up Maya's online help menu. Click on INDEX at the top left and click on E. Scroll down to env_Sky and read up on it.
