seeing sky in TG2 beta

[jimjabbo]

Hi folks...just came aboard. I have been a 3D max and bryce 5-7 and Rhino 1.1 freak for years..I have had and used Terragen 9 and several earlier versions since 2002..so being completely at home with its interface, I am a bit lost in TG2..well I have the beta version..I cant seem to be able to see the sky after rendering..in fact it is just black..absolutely stumped here
I cant seem to put an image into the post so here is one of my first terragen attempts in 2001...ironically 9/11/2001

thanx wetbanana..I dont know what happened in TG2 but now I have sky.. I much prefer the simplicity of terrain creation in TG 1-9 over the complexity of TG2. Still I have only had it for 2 days.

This is another but done in Bryce 5. The object of the exercise was to create the swirling chaos that surf produces around a rocky outcrop. I did it by using multiple ripple plugins with slightly different params on each one and slightly different x,y,z planes. The "wave" in the background that didnt work I made in rhino 1.1 along with the ship..which also didnt work. I t was supposed to be a model of HMS Cavalier upon which I served whilst in the RN. One should google HMS Cavalier..it has an interesting story...either way I am happy with how the surf worked out..it was all done on a P11 Celeron 300..quite slow
