10. Now switch to
layer 2
and add two sun lamps with these seings:

These two lamps serve the purpose of adding some general lighing to the storm
cloud. The colors of the lights are chosen to give some nice contrast (warm versus
cold) and the energy values to modulate their effect on the final look of the storm
cloud.
11. We also need to add a camera and set it to a good place for geing a good shot;
recommended seings are as follows:
F
Locaion: 8 X, -9.6 Y, 1.6 Z
F
Rotaion: 70.2º X, 0º Y, 42.8º Z
12. One last thing let to do is just seing the world opions to have a good blue
background for our scene. To do this, go to the
World
tab in the
Properties
Editor
and adjust the seings as indicated:
F
World panel:
Blend sky: Enabled
Horizon Color: 0.0 Red, 0.08 Green, 0.18 Blue
Zenith Color: 0.01 Red, 0.02 Green, 0.06 Blue
F
Ambient Occlusion panel: Enabled

These seings for the world will just give us a nice blue gradient in the background
to give some color to our dull scene.
