Rendering Question

(1/1)

Old Codger:
When I use the "Render" function I just get my model on a flat background. I have generated some star fields in Photoshop Elements that I'd like to have in the background of my renders. Do I need to set up a scene? I'm not doing an animation, I just want to "photograph" my SciFi models on a background of stars. Point me in the direction I need to go, please. The alternative would be having to ramp up in something like Blender and while an old dog (I'm 72) CAN learn new tricks it's a whole lot more work!

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

the most straightforward option is to go Scene > Properties..., select Environment, then in the Background section choose Image instead of Solid, and load in the file of your choice :)

Old Codger:
Thank you. I will do that. For just popping pics of my stuff up to my page at Deviant Art the quick render works well enough but sometimes I want to do something better.
