Perspective inside the environment

Change the sky’s display

To simplify your scene interaction, there is a way of seeing inside the sky dome even

when the camera is outside of it. To do so, you will have to change the way the geometry

is displayed. The following actions are somewhat more advanced than what you will

undertake in this project, but they will allow you to see inside the environment more easily.

Select the • skydome.

Select • Window → Attribute Editor.

The Attribute Editor is similar to the Channel Box, but with many more accessible attributes.

Expand• the Render Stats section by clicking the small arrow button.

This section controls how the models are displayed in the viewports and render time.

Disable• the Double-Sided attribute.

This tells Maya to hide the sides of the geometry facing away from the camera.

Enable• the Opposite attribute.

This tells Maya that you want the geometry to be displayed inside out.
