Welcome to Skybox Studio!
Skybox Studio is a full-featured editor extension that allows you to create unique and versatile static skyboxes for all types of environments from scratch with no additional tools required. It is aimed at artists and does not require any coding skills.
The simplistic and intuitive editor interface makes it easy to work with, while you can always preview your results in real time. Skybox Studio works based on textures. While textures for all aspects of and effects of the skybox come with the asset, you can use your own textures to achieve the desired look. The extensive manual helps you understand what kind of texture is required for each individual effect. With this there are virtually no limits to the artistic control, except your creativity
The workflow is simple:
* Create a project file
* Edit your skybox via the Skybox Studio Editor
* Export the final result
With Skybox Studio you can edit every aspect of your skybox to make them suitable for:
* Atmospheric environments
* Space environments
* Sci-Fi environments (colorful skies, background planets, etc.)
Those aspects are:
* Basic sky color settings
* Stars
* Nebulae
* Suns
* Planets
* Horizon
* Volumetric Clouds
* Background terrain
Once you have finished editing, you can simply select the output resolution, export with a mouse click and have Skybox Studio build the skybox material for you.
Skybox Studio is not a weather system!
The output is always a static 6-sided skybox. This gives you not only a great deal of compatibility - since the output is always a set of textures and a Unity material - the skyboxes are also very easy on performance because they are static.
Shareable Project Files
Skybox Studio works with its own project files that you can share with the community. Those project files make it easy to reproduce results or continue editing where others have left off.
Background Terrains
When using ready made skyboxes with terrain in the background we often find ourselves having to adjust our scene to match the skybox. With Skybox studio you can adjust the background terrain to fit your scene instead or choose not to have any background terrain. This gives you additional artistic control and can greatly enhance the look and feel of your scene.
Planets and Nebulae
Apart from atmospheric skyboxes, Skybox Studio allows the creation of skyboxes for space environments, rendering planets with or without rings, nebulae and multiple suns. The final result remains a static skybox, so that your scene remains clear of any additional objects.
Volumetric Clouds
Skybox Studio features volumetric clouds based on tileable noise textures. While it comes with a collection of such textures, you are free to use your own, to achieve the desired results. Cutout, softness and colors of the clouds are fully controllable and can be masked out to achieve a unique natural look. A total of three possible cloud layers allow you to use multiple types of clouds in the same skybox.
Example Projects
The package contains a total of 25 example projects for all types of environments:
* 6 atmospheric skyboxes with background terrain
* 7 atmospheric skyboxes without background terrain
* 2 cartoon style skyboxes
* 5 space skyboxes
* 5 atmospheric sci-fi skyboxes
At a glance
* Simplistic, easy to use interface
* Limitless possibilities and full artistic control
* Compatibility
* Example projects for different types of environments
* Extendable texture collection
* Shareable project files
* Extensive documentation and video tutorials
Important information on URP support!
While the Skybox Studio editor works with Unity's standard render pipeline only, the output is always a collection of six textures, one for each side of a 6-sided skybox. You can use these textures to create skyboxes using the universal render pipeline and even in 3D-tools other than Unity.
