I read in the manual that you can illuminate the clouds with maya lights...I tried adding in a light to give the bottom of the clouds some fill light, but they don't seem to do anything
I'm using mental ray, and have raytraced shadows enabled on my lights...any tips on what I could be missing?
e-on support informed me that this is not possible in ozone, only in vue...I assume the ozone manual will be revised to clear up any confusion on this matter...or even better, they can add support for this in future versions

Hi Kevin. Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. Yeah, that is probably one of the areas of the manual that is somewhat common between Vue xStream and Ozone and they left a little too much in on the Ozone side. xStream would be the way to go if you need that functionality. Ozone is limited to rendering the sky and clouds with its own standard or global ambience lighting modes. _________________ Regards,
