question about the ScatterSky

by Ben Halverson · in General Discussion · 07/23/2010 (9:31 am) · 2 replies

Hi all,

I love the new sun settings using the Scatter Sky, but even with different cloud layers, it still doesn't look as good as the visual spectrum possible with a regular skybox. Is there any way to use a cubemap during the day, instead of the regular old blue? It would be great to use the ScattersSky sun, skybox and clouds at the same time.

Thanks, whoever can help.

No. Scattersky is procedurally drawn/colored based upon it's settings and TimeOfDay. Using a skybox in combination would make the rayleigh and mie scattering effects unseen/useless. The choice of using one or the other is down to personal design and artistic goal.

There is a Resource that will let you *colorize* the sky if you desire more than the typical blue sky.

EDIT: to add link.
