Dark dome effect - how to?
Can anyone remember how it is that you use the dark dome effect to black out the firmament so that exterior areas can be used as interiors?

Their is an artificial ceiling under placeables that can be stretched to fit the area I think? If not we NEED it. LOL.

I made the cloakwood mines and the Undrek Valanar without any sky domes since they suck.
Play with the environmental settings to give a sense of expansiveness to your cavern. I mean are you looking for a sky dome that makes a low artificial ceiling or a to cap a huge cavernous area?
If it is big than you don't need it. Just black out the atmospheric settings in the environment controls and change the lighting. If you look in the Gallery for Undrek Valanar and if you like that affect that is exactly what I did for that and cloakwood mines level IV.

What Void said is what I did with my shadow dragon lair and it looks good, but sometimes you want a cave ceiling...
