help with this sky

12 Nov 2006Im currently working on a landscape project and need advice on making a sky.
My reference is this picture
I currently have this much
I've never made a sky in Maya before, so i'm at loss on the many possible techniques I can use to do this. So far, I've just made a sphere and applied a gradient texture to it that i've made in photoshop. I was thinking of maybe adding fog and some redish clouds in the upper area of the atmosphere. I also need advice on making that really bright yellow glow in the sky from the ref. -
TheOnlyAaron 188 posts12 Nov 2006There are two methods that you can use to create that glow in the background that i know of.
If you are allowed to post process your image in photoshop or something like that, i would render out a pass of just that background and the blur it on an additional layer on top, using a blending mode of screen or pin light or something.
Or if you want to do it all in maya, you can set your background to glow. In your blinn/lambert/phong whatever there is a rollout pretty far down called "special effects" go in there and there is a "glow" value, it is set by default to 0, but dial it up and you'll see some nice effects! -

Are there any good tutorials on how to use environmental fog? This one I was following doesn't really work, I think it's for an older version of Maya.
