Red skies - possible?

[choobaloo]

Still trying to figure out what can and can't be done here.

If I stretch a square prim across an entire region at 4,000m height and make it a bit transparent and full-bright red, will the region have a permanent red sky and a red glow on all objects?

   Not unless you have a 4,000 m rendering distance...

   Easiest would be to find or make a windlight. Can't think of any red ones off the top of my head, but I've seen some when flicking through them in the past.

Short answer- NO.

 

Longer answer - Typically you would use Windlight(R) to do what you want. I chose the EUPHORIA Sunset 1 sky, and made a few changes getting rid of the ugly square stars (Str. Bright =0) and changing the Ambient (what makes the atmosphere red) to red. The sky was already red from the Euphoria preset. This in 3rd Party viewers like Firestorm.  You can adjust from there as you would like.
