Hey guys,

Making some atmos I was goofing off and came up wth one I liked thought I would have a look around it and found a spot i like,but as you know when you save an atmosphere it saves as if the camera were zeroed.I am wondering if there is a way around this.I like the position the sky is in but the camera is not in its default position.Id there a way to set this camera angle to sefault so the atmosphere saves as it is seen in this image?

Nope. The only workaround would be to save the scene as well to include it in the bundle, if this is what you are doing.

Hey Bruno,

I knew you would be the first one here,but I had hoped with some wisdom:D No,I am not using it for a bundle. I have several really gorgeous godrays that i made inadvertantly that I have the same problem with. I didnt think that it was possible,but hope dies last(;

Maybe you could put in a wishlist req to Eon.  I have several scenes saved which are purely the camera setting so being able to save and load cameras would be super.  

Also, I like the idea of an option to save the cam setting when saving atmospheres

I have about 15 badass skies with this so maybe gill you are right,a request would be fitting,till then I guess  I smell a wicked big freebie:D

I can tell you a little trick, which could be a work around for now, until more is possible being programmed by the Vue producers.

If it doesn't bother you, to have the same landscape infront your clouds like in any atmosphere icon image, then do the following:

render your sky with your camera setting, make sure the sky and clouds, the way you want them to be seen, is in the upper 2/3rd of your render (you have to experiment a little for the perfect position.

Save your rendered image.

Then by double clicking on the camera in the browser window, open the advanced camera option window.
On the bottom right is a button called 'Background'.
Click it and a small window opens, where you can load a bitmap image, in this case your before render of your nice sky and camera tilt.
OK this window, OK the camera option window.
Now save your atmosphere and what you will get is a atmosphere preview image with your rendered image filling the sky background with the usual landscape infront.

That's the only thing you can do right now, to influence the outcome of the atmo preview images ...

I forgot to add ...
Okay - it's not the camera position saved along with the atmosphere - it just displays the way the sky and clouds are looking from the liked position and saves this in the image of the atmosphere preview.
But that could be used as a visual help. Then you give this atmosphere preview image the same name as the scene file saved with the fitting camera position ...

Save the camera view and atmo in a scene file.  Open it and merge with the scene you want.  Would that work for you?  Saving camera placement would be a nice feature, but I think merge may be the way around it for now.    

Ah well,nothing is working for what i want to do.I guess it is wait and see for V7 then(;

The merge method didn't work?  Let me know what the result was.  I want to know so it doesn't happen to me.
