Details
Skyboxes are rendered around the whole scene in order to give the impression of complex scenery at the horizon. Internally skyboxes are rendered after all opaque objects; and the mesh used to render them is either a box with six textures, or a tessellated sphere.
To implement a Skybox create a skybox material. Then add it to the scene by using the Window->Lighting menu item and specifying your skybox material as the Skybox on the Scene tab.
Adding the Skybox Component to a Camera is useful if you want to override the default Skybox. E.g. You might have a split screen game using two Cameras, and want the Second camera to use a different Skybox. To add a Skybox Component to a Camera, click to highlight the Camera and go to Component->Rendering->Skybox.
If you want to create a new Skybox, use this guide.
Hints
- If you have a Skybox assigned to a Camera, make sure to set the Camera’s Clear mode to Skybox.
- It’s a good idea to match your Fog color to the color of the skybox. Fog color can be set in the Lighting window.
