Hey everyone, 

Brand to new iClone and I'm extremely excited about it. Today I was going through a beginner tutorial on YouTube, specifically this one:

It went well and was very informative, but two things happened right at the end: first, everything got laggy and the blue "loading" circle kept popping up in the project. It didn't pop up in other projects when I loaded them. Second, the Sky Tool stopped working. I would open it, either in this project or a new one, and when I set the time of day to "night" and turned up the star density, the stars wouldn't appear and the sky wouldn't really get dark. 

Any suggestions for how to trouble shoot this greatly appreciated! 

Hi again all, I think I resolved part of this issue. Didn't realize the sky won't chance when I'm in "Quick Mode." Set the render mode back to "High" and it's working again. 

cheers!

Thanks for that. I tried the sky tool last week and didn't see any difference between day and night, in quick mode. That explains it. Also explains when I rendered the video out, it suddenly goes from night to day at one point in the render.
