Sky dome help [solved]

I cannot figure out the skydome. I've used what information I could gather but without directions on how to exactly set up the model, shaders, or what have you, I'm completely lost. My sky remains black no matter what I do. The lighting from the TimeOfDay file works fine, and the sun and moon both work, but no sky colour. Clouds show up, albeit, very glitchy. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

"Been there, done that"... possibly you built your Skydome too large and now it's being hidden by the fog settings in the Time of Day BP. The Skydome is a bit counter-intuitive, in that it can actually be rather small. Even if the inner sphere or box is merely 50m in diameter (for example), the sky will still render behind all the normal scenery.

Cheers
Michael

I figured it out. It wasn't the size, I forgot to flip the normals on the hemispheres. **!!bang!!** Now I just need to work out the clouds.
