Thank you I will certainly give that a try later tonight when I have the time to concentrate fully.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can use the cloud formation photo's for skies? I am assuming that if I tile that one it will look awful!

All I can think of at the moment is that I create my landscape without a sky (or just black sky) then take the finish rendered image into my paint program and layer the photograph onto it. That's a lot of work and I know it wouldn't look anywhere as good as it would if I could use it directly in Vue.

Sorry to be a pain but this is what happens when you try to combine two hobbies!!!

Thanks!
