HELP...trying to render a night scene

Post by mcompton » Sat Apr 11, 2009 4:12 am

Hello All,

I am trying to render a nightscene, when I place the SketchUp model time at 8PM or later...I am getting this weird purple light...any hints or suggestions?

Thanks

P.s. I love this program!

im not sure... wasnt there the restricion that the cant be too far below the horizon or else the sky would get such a purple light?

someone would have to confirm this. try to use an environment map of a nightsky or no / black background.

nice scene!
