Need help for HQ rendering (no sky)
I need help!

I've been using SH3D for years now, since version 3.3, I'm on the 4.0 version now.

I've been encountering problems with rendering...
whenever i render High Quality to 2nd High Quality the sky wont show, only white plain background whereas the background that i set was sky with clouds. The rest of my objects including the grass (ground) and my main house construction shows normally.

My system is:
Intel core i5 3210m
Windows 8
Intel HD4000 (default settings)
AMD Radeon 7670 (default settings)

Sorry guys, i figured it out.

When rendering with Aerial View, viewing the house from afar will make the sky plain white no matter what the sky background is, depending on the time set, however, it'll show some gradient changes.

When rendering with Virtual Visit, viewing the house from afar will NOT make the sky plain white although, no gradient changes to the sky on the rendered image file.

Re: Need help for HQ rendering (no sky)
It's what I tried to explain in the following note available in the help about the photo creation:

If you selected a color for the sky in the 3D view pane or if the current mode is Aerial view, a sky image computed according to the hour of the day is used for the rendering of the sky. If you chose a texture for the sky, that texture will always be used in Virtual visit mode whatever the selected hour.
