Easiest way to creat a sky for rendering?
-
I'm slowly getting beyond the basics in SU, and I'm starting to play around with rendering in Podium.
As such, I would like to add some clouds or some sort of sky seen through the window of a room. what is the best way to do this?
I've thought about just creating a face outside of the window and applying a "sky" texture...would that work?
thanks in advance!

as a follow-up, I located a skydome but when I import it around my building, it basically eliminates the sun so I can't really see anything...everything is dark. is there a way around that?

By far the easiest is to add a sky image as a watermark (to the style you are using, see Help)

A ractangle with a sky jpeg applied should work for you as well.

If you still want to use a skybox, you could turn down the opacity of the texture to 65%, SU treats anything with less than 70% opacity as clear, so this should let the sun through without eliminating your skybox.
