Scenes & Environments
Backgrounds
Tools > Palettes > Environments > Background
Backgrounds are created using a stored image which is scaled to the scene when rendered.
When using the Environments palette option, the thumbnail can be dragged into the scene to add the environment to the scene. Alternatively, right click onto the thumbnail and select the Set Environment option.
To remove an Environment from the rendered scene, right-click in the Environments palette and select the Set 'None' option.
NOTE : Environments are a product of rendering and are only visible when using the render tool.
In the example below, the Graduated option is selected from the Background options. The scene was rendered using Draft Render > Visualize > Realistic.
