White sky

Post by pabloyepes »

I am using version 4.1 on Linux. When I render an image of the whole building with an aerial view in level 4, the sky always comes out white. In the 3D properties I tried to use a texture of various skies, and using just a dark blue color. In all cases, on the rendering the sky looks white. I have also changed the brightness, but it does not change the result. Any ideas?

I guess it's white because you view a part of the generated sky in direction of the sun.
As stated in the help:
If you selected a color for the sky in the 3D view pane or if the current mode is Aerial view, a sky image computed according to the hour of the day is used for the rendering of the sky. If you chose a texture for the sky, that texture will always be used in Virtual visit mode whatever the selected hour.
So try to use a texture image for the sky.

I also tried with a texture, but it still shows a white sky. Any other ideas?

Thank you
