My school's animation group is competing in the FIRST animation competition and I need some help getting the atmosphere of my assigned scene correct. I'v created a low rolling hills terrain and I'm having trouble with the finishing touches, most namely atmosphere. I'v looked up tutorials and nothing that I'v found really looks good. Right now, I have a skylight with an assigned hdr map lighting the terrain with the same hdr as the environment map. Can anyone point me to any tutorials or plugins that would help with lighting or sky creating that would work either with the default scanline renderer or Mental Ray?
Thanks in advance
