Black area on Artlantis renders.

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:11:20 GMT

Hello all, I'm just wondering about something I've noticed when rendering with Artlantis. I'm not sure if it is just a simple option I have to tick or what but..

When I do any renders and am using the Heliodon there is a huge black background. I can live with it most of the time but now it is showing up in window reflections and I really hate it.

Can anybody shed some light?
I'm still self - learning so there are some things I just don't know about yet.

Ill post an example because no doubt my explanation doesn't make sense!

hi Hayden,
you need to goto the objects palette, from there choose equipment layer, then scene information.
then check the ground marker, and change the ground level as required, add shaders etc.

heres a screenshot,
im sure there are other ways to get to the ground palette, but this is how i do it.

I'm not aware what version of Artlantis you are using but in 3.0 you should get to that settings box by pressing Ctrl+I.
