well, i finally got a sky sphere to work. but i want the fog to be roughly 50-100 units inside the edge of the sphere. but i have everything set up for the fog, but there is no fog! on my other project, when i tried to have a sky sphere, i had fog on but i couldn't see my sphere. does the sky sphere obscure the fog? here's my code.

#include "LoadMatrix.dba"

sync on
sync rate 0
hide mouse

fog on : fog distance 200
fog color RGB(128,128,128)
backdrop on : set camera range 1,2000

Why do you use the backdrop?

BTW:Is the skysphere's size greater or smaller than the fog distance?

You can disable the backdrop if you're using a sky sphere. More importantly - make the sky sphere not bothered about fog or ambient lights or lights at all. See the command "set object" and turn off fog for it (and lights, etc).

Cheers,

nevermind, i fixed what i did. if you notice in my code above, i had all of my fog routines before i loaded my landscape. i didn't think that it would make that much of a difference, but apparantly it does. thanx for the help though!
