Then, you can move the ground near your camera like any other object, and change it's texture (under properties) to fit the type of ground you want. At the same time, you can change the atmosphere color (under world properties) to a color that better fits your new scene.</div><div><br></div><div>That should be enough to fit your needs. If you've already tried all that and it's not sufficient, maybe someone else knows a better way to do this.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps!</div><div>Teddy Ward</div><div><br>On Jun 20, 2013, at 8:38 AM, "McCloud, Prof. Robert" <<a href="mailto:mccloudr@sacredheart.edu">mccloudr@sacredheart.edu</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We have tried different workarounds for creating different looking sub-worlds in the same world (setting property to prevent an object from being viewed, changing object opacity, and modifying colors),
but none of these is really satisfactory.</span></div>
