In the Background Editor, you can change backgrounds by clicking the
Browse button (...) next to the File Name field and open a new image as
the background.
Editing parameters in the Background Editor will interactively alter the
scene with those changes. At any time, click Apply to apply the parameter
edits to the scene.
You can save an edited background for use in other scenes by dragging it into
the Backgrounds folder inside the My Effects user archive.
Environment Background and Reflections
Environment backgrounds are a special kind of background that move with
the model and allow reflections from reflective model parts.
Environment backgrounds not only make the scene look more realistic for
static images of the model, but completely transform the realism effect in
animations. This is because as in real life, by moving an object around in the
background, the environment also changes. For example, looking up to the
top of a building, the background will be the sky, whereas, an aerial view of
the building will have the surrounding buildings or landscape as the
background.
