I'm just wondering if there's anyone that can explain how the "relationship" between the sky dome and distant mountains works please? I'm assuming there is one as I was trying to get an "apocalyptic storm" effect happening and am a bit stumped.
At the risk of sounding like Goldilocks and the porridge... I initially started just by bring in some really dark clouds but the sky was still too light:
I darkened the sky dome "circle" a couple of times before the sky behind the clouds was dark enough, but I then had this odd effect happening:
I thought the answer might be to increase the width of the dark circle in order for the darkened sky to stretch all the way to the ground, and although that worked as far as the effect I wanted goes, the mountains now look like this:
I've tried various experiments with how big I make the dark circle, moving it in different directions etc, but I can't get it to cover the entire sky without having that white/grey out effect on distant mountains. Does anyone know if what I'm trying to do is possible, or does changing that white area around the circle always turn the distant mountains white/grey?
