Hello everyone,

It's been a while since I last posted. I've been trying to learn more about modeling, but I also need to practice more Blitz! Since I'm out of practice, I can't figure out how to achieve this simple effect: I want a sky background on my 3D level. For now, I am experimenting with simple colored images, but the background is always displayed black:

back = CreateImage(800,600)
SetBuffer ImageBuffer(back)
ClsColor 125,125,50
SetBuffer BackBuffer()


and in the main loop:

UpdateWorld
RenderWorld
DrawImage back,0,0
Flip
Wend


Is there another way to achieve this simple effect?
