Sky¶
Changes the default appearance of the experience's sky.
Description¶
The Sky object, when placed inside Lighting, changes the default
appearance of the experience's sky. This object's
skybox is composed of six sides, like a
cube. Rotation of the skybox can be changed through
SkyboxOrientation.
The skybox sun, moon, and other celestial objects remain visible unless you turn off the CelestialBodiesShown property. By adjusting the StarCount property, you can change how many stars appear in the sky at night.
This object can also be used as a cubemap for reflections in
ViewportFrames, in which case only the Sky
object's six‑side Skybox[…] properties are used. For details, see
viewport frames.
