Hi!

This reply is obviously a little late but I hope you get it. Starting from the default settings make the following changes: In 'Atmosphere' change the Simple Haze settings to 20% density and 64 half-height. Change Atmospheric Blue to 10% density and 256 half-height. For Light Decay/Red set it to 20% density and 32 half-height. In 'Lighting Conditions' under 'Sun's Appearance' change the Disc Diameter(deg) to 0.5 and the Corona Size to 0. (The disc size affects the saturation and value(lightness) of the sky) As in real life, the sky is most saturated in the direction opposite the sun. So try pointing the camera away from the direction of sunlight. Also, and I have no explanation for this, I have not been able to get consistant results even under similar light/camera angles. Sometimes the sky is a deeper blue than other times(?). Terragen does not always display consistant(i.e. scientifically accurate) atmospheric properties for certain lighting conditions but I hope these settings will provide a good starting point. Have fun.

Michael
