Question about sky

hi , lately ive seen some nice screenshots with a moon in the back. just wondering how to enable the "moon" effect. and how to have a dark sky. .....


my second question...how can i make a nice smooth terrain go into the water....like if i have a ramp going into the water, how can i have nice smooth egdes so that it looks like the water is going back and forth into the land like a beach!!!

thx

1. You need to download a mdx file called sunmoon which has the sun and moon sky.

2. I think you need to start the map off as all water then build up from there.

To get smooth water to land transitions, start by lowering the terrain to all shallow water. Then raise an area of terrain to the desired land height and plateau the map. Then use the lower terrain tool to get rivers and beaches. Use smooth also.

To get the sun and moon sky, go to the object editor. create a new doodad and change its to Orcbackdrop_V1. This will get you a sunset. The night i think is OrcBackdrop_V0. Don't know for sure.
