Hi all, is there an easy way to control far clipping? Im rendering an animation and would like to extend the far clip. Right now I have some background objects popping into existence instead of fading in from the distance fog.

thanks

You can either increase Zend in the main window (dialog box in the top right corner), or increase the far plane in the Navigator window (bottom left)

To make the distance objects fade smoothly in, you have to set the 'Depth' slider in the lighting near to the first mark.(*)
It is related to the endplane of rendering, Check the 'Far depth fog' option to get less fog in the foreground and mid parts.

To change the overall distance of rendering, change the farplane value in the navi (or just press F1 and F2 for fast keycontrol).
You can change also the Zend value, but this might be not that easy to handle.

(*) Half way towards the first mark is enough, as i see.
