Interesting Effect-Animated Sky

rednek	Yay, i find way how to create animated sky in World Editor BEWARE: This can work only in cinematic 1. Create doodat with any Campaign Screen model 2. Place it in your map 3. Hide it beyond camera or hill or any large doodat etc... Well... Maybe you know this finesse, maybe not... I don't know but plz, don't castigate me if you know that...

Armelior	The orcish tutorial campaign screen is particularly useful if you want flash of lights for a stormy effect. @redneck : the night sky on the 3rd screen is made of what screen ? undead RoC ?

[Death]	Yeah, this is known. I've used it a lot in my terrains. CotN also used this. By the way, for anyone using this, don't make the doodads using this sky too big. Sometimes the sky is so large that when you set it down, it crashes the WE. This seems to be dependent on computer strength, but I usually use around .3 size.
