Strange "Horizon" line in Carrara 8.5 Renders

LinkRS

Hello Everyone,

I have recently switched from Daz Studio to Carrara for my renders. I am currently playing around with it, messing with the auto-generated terrain and realistic skies. However, whenever I use a realistic sky in the scene, I get a strange horizon line (visible in all of the attached samples). I originally thought that was an artifact of the realistic sky, so added a terrain in my latest render, only to have the line still show up (in white). Any ideas on what causes that, or what it is? Thanks!

Yes, but I don't know the geek way to say it.
There's a 'gap' between the foreground and the sky backdrop. Need to either fill it with some more terrain, or change the camera angle.

For eg. in the top image, there is nothing between the green and the line.

an infinite plane same colour as terrain usually helps and maybe setting horizon to - (something big)
it has built in ground backdrop unfortunately, enabling ground adds an actual obscuring plane like level
also camera angle and lens ie wide angle or zoom can help

Hi Patience55 and Wendy*Catz,

Thanks for the assist, I really appreciate it. I raised the horizon on the realistic sky to around 10000 feet, and rendered again, and it worked! I have attached the latest version to this post. I am still tweaking it, as the ground and the tree don't look quite right, but that is a question for another day... Thanks again!
