Set the High Clip Color to R:180
G:218 B:254.
Now, you??™re probably wondering where these values come from. Although you
can use another image-editing program to determine the color value of the Low
Clip (the sky in the fountain image), you can do it directly in LightWave. The
following steps show you how.
3. From the Render tab at the top of Layout, select Render Globals. In the Render
Globals panel, set the Render Display to Image Viewer. You??™ll see two options
there: Image Viewer and Image Viewer FP (???FP??? stands for ???floating point???).
The FP version is useful for determining values for high dynamic range
(HDR) imagery.
For this project, you want to use just the Image Viewer for RGB images (not
Image Viewer FP). You can simply select a color based on your own eye.
Remember, this is a range of color, high and low??”it??™s not specific.
4. Press F9 to render a frame. After the frame is rendered, the Image Viewer opens.
Move the mouse over to the sky. Click and hold the mouse and look at the title
bar of the Image Viewer panel. Figure 16.18 shows the Image Viewer.
Figure 16.18 Using LightWave??™s Image Viewer from the Render Globals panel, you can easily
find RGB color values of your background image.
