The old How To had it, but I'm yet to find the new one. There's nothing listed under the Tutorials section either for it.
Anderson, there are a lot of things you have to do to get the EnvSky to render properly. One thing is, it's not a texture that you apply to geometry. It has to do with camera settings. Sp that's why you're seeing those nasty colors and things when you render.
I'm looking for that tutorial. As soon as I find it, or something similar, I'll post a link for ya.
But for now what you can do to familiarize yourself with it, im Maya, hit the F1 key to bring up Maya's online help menu. Click on INDEX at the top left and click on E. Scroll down to env_Sky and read up on it.
