I think i started with "Because the Night" sky preset, added stars, changed the haze color, added fog.... Even if i put the sun at high noon, the sky is still black. How can i change that? I'm trying to get yellowish haze fading into dark blue sky with stars. I've run into this before and have never found where to change the sky color. They must have done something to make it only ever black, but i'm scratching my head on this one. Anyone?

With that sky preset, you'll have the best changes by changing the haze color to a lighter one. Most of what makes that sky color is in the haze controls.

DOH! I see you did that. Ok, dunno. Changing haze works fine for me. Are you sure its "because the night"? Did you add clouds?

what about changing the sun color to yellowish and the fog too I made a sky as you described using the same preset and it came nice Not black that is. let me know if you want to try my settings roch222

Thanks, peeps! After some more fiddling i'm getting a blue sky. Here's what was happening: For haze color i was using H:26/S:60/L:110. That makes the sky a black color. When i change the saturation to 0, Bryce changes the hue to 160 (after exiting the color picker), which is a blue. I tried keeping the hue at 26 with S:0, but it doesn't stay that way (hmmm). I now get a nice fading blue. I may have to forego the yellow haze part. It looks nice as it is.

Have you tried playing with these color coxes?

Not lately. I've been using the sky lab. Do those color controls have things that aren't in the sky lab?

Oops typo^^^^ supposed to be boxes,not coxes. I believe from my experience that they have more control than just in the skylab. I am no expert by any means,but this is how I change them.Also I made a tutorial for skies: See link.

here are my settings i was able to get the yellow haze

settings duh

Thanks, amethyss. I'll check out your tutorial. I can easily see at least a couple controls that aren't in the skylab. I'll look at it more closely later. Roch222: yes, but your sky is black. As in my earlier post about how i fixed the situation, it seems that the yellow haze makes the blue sky black. Also, i don't want to color the sun because i don't want everything to look yellow. Currently, my sun color is R:G:B 60:60:60 - pretty dark because i'm trying to get my objects dark. Ambience is 0:0:0. I'm making some headway, but slowly.
