I have never really dealt with the mist, and halo materials much, but for this image it seems i will be needing both. After messing around i have got some decent results by using a halo material on a sphere to form a sun, and the mist to shroud the mountains in the background, there must be a problem…
The mist only renders in the preview window
I thought this might be a problem in the render options… but i find nothing for mist/stars
Ill post some screens if they will help…
