Top of the World and Skydome

I love Bitwelder's "Top of the World" scene, but I'm having trouble with my first use of the included Skydome feature.  The background view of the ocean, mountains, and sky look beautiful before I render.  After rendering, the foreground is still there, but the background is totally black.  I've tried clicking on everything related to Skydome, but I am obviously missing something.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Are you rendering in Iray or 3Delight? And by the foreground do you mean the mountaintop (called the 'Scene' in your runtime)?

    "Top Of The World" is a 3Delight product, not Iray. Just switch your render engine to 3Delight, and, if necessary, change any Iray skins, etc to the 3Delight versions, too. (Click on the attachment thumbnail to see full sized image)

    Thank you very much for your feedback.  You were correct that I needed to switch to 3Delight.  I had never used it before, and I was surprised how fast it was compared to Iray. 

    Thanks again for your help.  --- Victorio
