SkyBox¶

Inherits: EntityHandle
C++ type: SkyBox

Cubemap sky rendering and the source environment for image-based lighting (IBL).

When a Sky entity has a valid cubemap texture, the engine generates irradiance and prefiltered specular environment maps from it. Meshes with Receive IBL enabled on their Mesh component use those maps for reflections and indirect diffuse lighting.

Editor-only component fields¶

These are edited on the Sky component in the Properties window and serialized with the scene (not yet exposed on the SkyBox script class):

Use Visible = false for invisible HDR environments that only drive reflections.

Methods¶

Example¶

SkyBox sky(&scene);
sky.setTextures("outdoor",
    "sky/px.png", "sky/nx.png",
    "sky/py.png", "sky/ny.png",
    "sky/pz.png", "sky/nz.png");
sky.setRotation(15.0f);

local sky = SkyBox(scene)
sky:setTextures("outdoor",
    "sky/px.png", "sky/nx.png",
    "sky/py.png", "sky/ny.png",
    "sky/pz.png", "sky/nz.png")
sky.rotation = 15

Enable Receive IBL on meshes that should reflect this environment. See Rendering Pipeline — IBL.
