Hi guys I have a bit of a problem regarding a skysphere I have in a level. Im learning as I go. I probably looking in the wrong place but I cant seem to adjust the camera distance range to get rid of this big gaping black hole in my skysphere... is it a graphics card limitation of mine?

It does indeed look like part of the sphere lies outside your camera's clip range.
You can either use set camera range to increase it (it's the second (far) range parameter you'll want to increase) or scale down the skysphere so it's smaller.

Hi, I've tried raising the range up to 100000 and it's still there I'm afraid. The sphere is only 5000...

Well that's not right... Are you sure you're setting it for the correct camera? The main one uses ID 0, not 1.

You might be using the command wrong like Rudolpho said.

Just a warning, using really large values for the camera range can cause graphical and floating point errors. Try to use a value that's only slightly larger than your biggest object.
