As you will see from this tutorial,it’s remarkably easy to use, and packed full ofincredible features. Amazingly realistic vegetationare, together with soft shadows and blurred re-flections, just some of those features that makefor parable picture quality.

Just pick one that corresponds more orless to what you want to achieve. The choice is not sosignificant. The atmosphere you select will only be usedas a starting point. It’ll be thoroughly modified later, untilwe eventually end up with pletely differ-ent!
