    "A Splat primitive is a billboard plane that always faces the camera, and is most often used to display textures that have alpha channels. For example, you can use a Splat primitive, and apply a rendered tree for a texture, using an alpha channel to remove the solid background color. Repeat the Splat object several times and you can have a forest without the geometry overhead."  I don't use this much, but I do use billboard trees that I bought, gives a nice background and hides the horizon line.

    thanks.  

    couldn't put a hdri image on it.  the milkyway hdr not gicing much light to the scene.
    the curve woulda been good for a deathstar attacksmiley

    oh gahhh, that horizon line.  i tried to lower it -10000.00 in but is still rendering. 

    rendering some terrains bg

    That looks exactly like a naked Vicky in a temple with a sword.

    - or maybe it is a rorschach test.  blush

    if you have Affinity photo then you can load a HDRI into it and then save out in another format like jpg wink

    is the colors in the hdr supposed to bleed into the render?

    mebbe its a dud.

    i vaguely remember AoA found a way to line up a scene with the 'the sun' in an hdr

    That was Dimention Theory. He lines up the sun of a IBL map. I believe he might even have some products that use that (?)
