As you can see in this landscape, with Pickosaur added, the sky is a "bit" dark. I tried rendering with Firefly & the P4 renderer, but still, get a black sky. It's all pretty much default props, tex's & lights. Any ideas???

Try disabling "Remove backfacing polygons" and/or "Smooth polygons" in your FireFly render options, and see if that helps.

Thanks. As I recall, I did try those things while trying different renders, but I should check. I had been guessing that it might have something to do with P5's "background"...maybe cutting off the light to the sky-dome-prop. Or something. :) BTW, I really like hmann's 3DWorldsKit. Sure wishI could find more textures.

Do you have the background color white? try that and see what happens.

I tried the kit after I posted this and I made the background white and it was still dark, did as little dragon suggested and it works fine now :)

Glad to hear you got it working. The problems caused by those two render options currently outweigh any benefits they provide. Although I must admit, when "smooth polygons" works properly, it really makes low-poly meshes look great.
