When recording a script the background sky image isn't showing up when the method is set to smooth? It shows up in the view I'm recording and if I choose luxology it is there too, but it doesn't show up in the preview window while recording or in the final image file. Any Ideas? I'd really like to record w/luxology but I don't have a week to wait around for it to produce the images, so I have to use smooth as my recording method.
You need to use Smooth with Environment so that the spherical or cylindrical environment persist in the view. You can set the environment using the display styles dialog. You don't want to animate with a static background you need to use either cylindrical or spherical environment.

Thanks Jerry.
Jerry, I Don't see smooth with environment in my list of options to choose from?? Can I create a style that will fix this?
Yes if you are on SS3 you can create one.
Ok, I created a new display style, using cylinder for background, but I still can't get the background to show up when I render the view (either when recording a script, or just trying to save an image of the view). I'd post an example of what the view looks like and what it generates when it renders, but I don't see an option here to attach an image in a reply. I need to generate a lot of images by the middle of next week and I'm at a loss as to how to get this accomplished if I can't get this fixed quickly. Thanks for the help.
