@NexusCool1 I think you are not in camera view while previewing because I hit a shortcut ctrl+c to create a view from perspective. As long a you have a decent view of your sun the preview should be o.k

I'm not so sure I like dreamscape. Renders take forever and options are limited. Also, it seems the lighting options are limited due to not having use of a vray sun, or am i wrong?
