Eric,

I don't know if you have gotten this working yet

Now, are you using raytraced materials? What I do is set the Environment to the bitmap I want to use as the sky(usually using Cylindrical Environment mapping, then I set the exposure control to Logarithmic and set the value to the value of my skylight.

I hope this helps, if not, let me know and I'll go back to Viz 4 and do it step by step, I've been using Max 5 mostly now.

Good luck,

Jeff
