kydome Part 12-Varied- (4K/8K)

The main difference between Skydome and Skybox is that Skydome is a hemisphere that covers the scene from above. Since Unity (with CrunchCompression disabled) allocates a fixed amount of MB per texture depending on its resolution, by cutting a full sphere and its texture in half we get exactly half of total size with the same quality - Main advantage of Skydome.
In addition to this, a highly optimized single-pass shader was created, meaning even less impact on performance compare to original Unity Skybox. Since SkyboxColor plugin from DemonLord will not work with it, a similar one was designed specifically for these Skydomes and embedded it in every .VAR.

Each set is released in two resolutions - 4K (20MB) and 8K (80MB), allowing you to choose the desired quality - the first is great as a placeholder for a window view or similar cases where the sky plays a very minor role in the scene, but you are not satisfied with standard black void. 8K is suitable for outdoor scenes or VR, where quality becomes more important.



"If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office." ~ George Lucas
