I need a way of making the sky a single color, tnx

Go to the sky and fog controls. Go to the icon all the way on the left. Click on the triangle. In the drop down menu turn off the atmophere. Click on the color swatch to set the sky to the color you want. If you want screenshots let me know and I will post them.

Tnx a lot, GROINGRINDER. My problem: I did all that, nothing new. I always get this naggy strip of light between the floor & sky. Now here's a specific case: 1. black sky; 2. disable sun; 3. spotlight from above. This produces a lightstream effect, and it would be nice if I didn't have the middle strip. Hope it's clear

Yes it is clear. I believe you are going to need to play with the color picker controls that control the horizon color.

I'm sorry there is no horizon color it is haze color that you want. You will probably have to go to the last icon on the left in the sky pallet and select custom sky from the drop down and set the three color patches there to black as well.

The easiest way to have a flat colored background ( sky ) is to go to the sky library and select flat gray preset. Then on the sky palette change the color on the far left option ( sky & fog mode ). Also if you Ctrl&Alt click on the color palette your system's color selector will pop up.

The presets have a pure black sky (not the starfield).

Yeah that's what I was looking for. Tnx a lot

Thanks folks, I'm gonna file this thread in my tuts folder.

This tutorial explains how to that in Bryce. http://www.petersharpe.com/Tutorial12.htm Sorry if you've already seen it.

Yeah I saw it

You need just a little bit more light around.

Well, if that's all, I'm content. This streaming light shit bothered me for quite a while
